Lemon quinoa. Just add a couple of tablespoons of lemon juice and a couple of teaspoons of lemon zest to freshly cooked quinoa. Fresh, bright flavor.</p> <p>2. Southwestern salad: quinoa with black beans, roasted corn, jalapeno, red onion, cilantro, lime juice and avocado.</p> <p>3. Greek salad: quinoa with greek olives, feta, red onion, spinach or kale (chopped).</p> <p>4. Pesto: quinoa with fresh pesto stirred in. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/please-share-your-recipes-for-quinoa#post-1852956 Mon, 08 Sep 2014 09:23:31 +0000 skibobrown 1852956@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love this recipe for quinoa salad:<br /> <a href="http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/Quinoa-Salad-232677" rel="nofollow">http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/Quinoa-Salad-232677</a><br /> It's substantial enough to be a full meal. I buy frozen edamame and I also add in cubed feta cheese. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/please-share-your-recipes-for-quinoa#post-1852923 Mon, 08 Sep 2014 09:04:33 +0000 Shutterbug 1852923@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lauraeabel: I use the brown rice button on my rice cooker, and I think I use the same liquid ratio as with rice.

I like this recipe:</p> <p><a href="http://allrecipes.com/recipe/kale-quinoa-and-avocado-salad-with-lemon-dijon-vinaigrette/" rel="nofollow">http://allrecipes.com/recipe/kale-quinoa-and-avocado-salad-with-lemon-dijon-vinaigrette/</a></p> <p>I prefer Bob's Red Mill brand because I haven't had problems with stones in them. I also use the rice cooker. My rice cooker is the cheapie one that only has 1 button so I don't think you can go wrong with whatever setting. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/please-share-your-recipes-for-quinoa#post-1852571 Sun, 07 Sep 2014 21:03:14 +0000 spaniellove 1852571@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lauraeabel: My rice maker has all the bells and whistles and I can't remember using any of the fancy settings. But I'd recommend looking up what the right proportion of liquid to quinoa is for the rice cooker method! It's soooo much easier and less intimidating. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/please-share-your-recipes-for-quinoa#post-1852566 Sun, 07 Sep 2014 20:57:55 +0000 cookiemomster 1852566@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@spaniellove: what setting do you use on your rice cooker? That sounds way easier! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/please-share-your-recipes-for-quinoa#post-1852552 Sun, 07 Sep 2014 20:41:03 +0000 spaniellove 1852552@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think there are one or two brands that don't require you to rinse like crazy! And I always just make it in the rice cooker, which makes it so much easier. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/please-share-your-recipes-for-quinoa#post-1852498 Sun, 07 Sep 2014 19:29:02 +0000 MommySLP 1852498@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LindsayInNY: I make these at least once a week---you can put any veggie in them, tonight I used spinach!</p> <p><a href="http://shopgirlmaria.blogspot.com/2013/04/cheesy-quinoa-and-broccoli-patties.html?m=1" rel="nofollow">http://shopgirlmaria.blogspot.com/2013/04/cheesy-quinoa-and-broccoli-patties.html?m=1</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/please-share-your-recipes-for-quinoa#post-1852492 Sun, 07 Sep 2014 19:18:14 +0000 cmomma17 1852492@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My favorite way to eat quinoa is in a bowl topped with warm black beans, fresh tomato, fresh avocado, and some balsamic dressing.

This is hands down the best salad I have ever made. I bring it to every BBQ now! It has chickpeas, cherry tomatos, spinach, cilantro,and avacado and a lemon-cumin vinegrette. Yum!

Otherwise it has this soapy-tasting coating on it and is not so delicious...I didn't know that for the longest time and was like "why do people like quinoa so much?". </p> <p><a href="http://www.ambitiouskitchen.com/2013/04/crunchy-cashew-thai-quinoa-salad-with-ginger-peanut-dressing/#comment-5123" rel="nofollow">http://www.ambitiouskitchen.com/2013/04/crunchy-cashew-thai-quinoa-salad-with-ginger-peanut-dressing/#comment-5123</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/please-share-your-recipes-for-quinoa#post-914397 Mon, 08 Jul 2013 23:48:24 +0000 sweet_p 914397@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Does anyone have any good recipes for quinoa they would like to share? I've never cooked it before, but I bought a bag of the organic one from Trader Joe's and want to make it as a side dish for dinner tomorrow. </p> <p>I ate it last night at a restaurant and it tasted like they had used olive oil, lemon juice and some kind of herbs. Simple, but really yummy. Just wanted to see if anyone else has any suggestions. Thanks! </p>
