I HATE the smell of quinoa when it's cooking. It smells terrible. I can rarely ever eat something made of quinoa right after cooking. That's why I usually cook it, then refrigerate it, then make something out of it.
Anyway, this is one delicious salad! My 1, 3, 11 &16 year old kids all love it. The 6, 8 & 18 yo didn't dare try it. This recipe is very forgiving, you can pretty much just throw in what you have.
4 cups cooked, refrigerated quinoa
1-2 tomatoes, chopped
1/4-1/2 cup chopped celery, carrots, cucumbers, sprouts, peppers, cilantro, parsley (all or any combination)
1/4 c. chopped green onions (or other onions)
1/2 c. chopped cooked chicken (or omit, it's good either way)
Dressing:
1/4 c. lemon juice
1/2 c. olive or sesame oil
1/2 tsp salt
Mix dressing. Mix quinoa & veggies. Pour dressing over salad and stir. Add extra salt if needed.
