Have You Ever Cooked Quinoa or Eaten Some Of It?

I cooked some last night for the first time. Made a simple salad after it cooled down with chopped green onions, tomatoes, sweet orange mini-peppers, and peeled cucumber. Made a salad dressing with olive oil, lemon juice, a bit of red wine vinegar, salt, pepper, a bit of garlic powder & quite a bit of dry thyme herb. It made a large bowlful and thought we’d have it for dinner, but just finished a small bowl of what was left last night….it hit the spot. Tasted like a combination of tabouli and macaroni salad. I can’t eat wheat now so this filled the bill. Plus it’s a complete protein and has quite a bit of iron in it. Nice cool salad for summer. Am planning on making quinoa-maple pudding for breakfast tomorrow morning.
