I invented a good salad last night. Herewith, the recipe:
Uncle Miltie’s Quinoa Kitchen Sink Salad
1 Cup Qunioa
2 Cups Water
Boil in a rice cooker until done.
Remove from cooker and cool in a wide salad bowl.
Prepare the following ingredients. Add when all the ingredients are ready and the Quinoa is cooled.
4 Tbs Hazelnut Oil
4 Tbs Lemon Juice
Salt to Taste
2 TBS Honey
2 TBS Pine Nuts
1 Orange, peeled, sectioned and sliced to 1/4 inch bites
1 Avocado, cubed
4 TBS Grated Parmesan (the good stuff)
1/4 Cup Blueberries
Rosemary, 1 long branch de-stemmed, chopped finely
Oregano, 1 Tbs fresh chopped
2 Cups Garden Greens chopped to salad size (lettuce, kale, beet greens, chard, etc.)
1/4 - 1/2 Cup Italian Parsley, destemmed, chopped
1 Carrot, shredded
1 Apple, chopped to small bite sized pieces. Greener is better, Granny Smith preferred.
Take a look through the garden and refrigerator crisper and try most any other complimentary fruit or vegetable.
Toss. Correct for salt.
Enjoy!
On a whim, I bought Quinoa tonight at the store...
Never bought it before...
And here you are with a recipe.
Freeper Karma!
This looks terrific! Will try!
