Get Started with These Ingredients:

  • 1 cup quinoa

  • 4 cups of water

  • ¼ tsp. salt

Instructions:

  • In a dry skillet over medium heat, toast the quinoa until it has a nutty aroma.

  • Remove from heat, rinse and drain in a very fine mesh strainer.

    Bring water to a boil in a pot, add salt and add toasted quinoa.

  • Cook until tender and the outer white rings appear on the grains, about 15 minutes.

  • Strain through a fine mesh colander and then place in a large bowl to cool.

Note: This can even be done the night before to save time and kept in fridge overnight.

Add Remaining Ingredients to Cooked and Cooled Quinoa:

  • 1 cup cooked (shelled) edamame beans (available in frozen veggie section)

  • 1 cup frozen corn (can steam with the edamame beans together)

  • 1 small container of feta cheese (250 ml)

  • 1 red or orange pepper, chopped

Dressing:

  • ¼ cup fresh squeezed lime juice

  • ¼ cup olive oil

  • 2 teaspoons honey

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  • ¼ cup minced cilantro

  • 1 shallot, minced

  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

Pour the dressing over the cooled quinoa and other ingredients and then mix in the chopped feta.

Let stand for 4 hours for flavours to mix together.

Note: This is a great amount for 4 people, but I double for bigger gatherings to have lots left over! It stays very well in the fridge for four days too!

Bon Appetit!
