Quinoa Toss
Ingredients:
How to make the salad:
The quinoa makes a great alternative to pasta and its great as a meal by itself.
If you haven't tried or even heard of quinoa don't worry its just like cooking rice and does not have an overwhelming flavour so anything you toss it with will work. I prefer to cook this in the stock to give it more flavour!
