Quinoa Salad

We all know Quinoa is a power grain but it doesn't just have to be a healthy rice substitute. You can make very tasty salads and sides from this nutty flavorful grain and here is one of my favorite recipes for Kee-No-Waaaayyyy :)… ENJOY!

1/2 cup Quinoa (cooked ratio 2 to 1)

1 Carrot (chopped)

2 shoots of Scallions

3 tbsp Sunflower Seeds

3 tbsp Sesame Oil

salt to taste

Make the Quinoa and let it stand until it cools. Chop veggies and add to the quinoa, along with the sunflower seeds. If eating the entire salad that day add in the sesame oil. HOWEVER if you plan on taking it for lunch a few days in a row, I would not add the oil until the day you plan on eating it, as it tends to change the taste and consistency of the vegetables.
