Vegan Quinoa Salad


Okay, here's the recipe that I mentioned in my twEAT the other day.  We tried the recipe again and I love it.  Last time, we used feta cheese, but thought it might be fun to make this vegan, so no cheese.  And we don't miss it!  Give it a try and let em know what you think of it!

Ingredients:
3 cups quinoa
2 cans low sodium garbanzo beans
1 english cucumber
2 bunches green onions
1/2 cup chopped dill
1 cup slivered almonds
1 cup dried cherries
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
1/4 cup rice wine vinegar
1/2 cup lemon juice

Directions:
Cook quinoa as directed in package and cool.  Meanwhile, dice english cucumber and green onion; place in bowl.  dump and rinse garbanzo beans; place in bowl.  Chop fresh dill and place in bowl.  Place remaining ingredients (slivered almonds, dried cherries, salt, pepper, rice wine vinegar, and lemon juice) in bowl.  Stir all ingredients in bowl; then mix into quinoa.  Serve cold.

Looks tasty, I'll have to check it out, Vegan not sure I can get Ben on board, maybe I'll add the feta back in for him.

I'd bet ground turkey would also bee tasty without adding too much sodium...

I am sad to say I tried quinoa and didn't love it.

I am willing to try it again though and this recipe looks great. Thanks Beej!

This looks great Beej. I have just started cooking with quinoa over the last couple of months. Love it.
