Quinoa Salad Recipe - Delicious!

Isn't there a long time since I wrote about food?

Here we go then..... yesterday I made quinoa. Simply delicious and the extra bonus is that it is also healthy. Quinoa is a grain that is high in protein and fibre. It does not cause flatulence, so very comfortable to eat :-)

This is a very simple recipe and can serve two people, I think.

- 2 mugs of water
- 1 mug of quinoa
- 2 carrots, grated
- 2 courgettes, grated
- 1/2 tsp of smoked paprika
- 1/2 tsp of salt
- 200g of frozen peas

Wash the quinoa well and transfer to a sauce pan with 2 mugs of water, the grated carrots, grated courgettes, salt, and smoked paprika.

Bring to boil, keep boiling for 10 minutes and then simmer for 15-20 minutes.

During the last 5 minutes of simmering add the frozen peas.

When ready, drizzle with a good olive oil.

That is it!!!! Simple isn't it?

And it is such a colourful and taste dish! Impossible not to like it!

Buon Appetito!
