Quinoa & Roast lamb Salad...

Quinoa is one of our favourite grains/seeds to cook with...
This is the base to a salad that we add what ever takes our fancy at the time...

Quinoa Salad...

1 cup Quinoa
2 cups of chook or vegetable stock... I just add a heaped tsp of Chook stock powder...

½ large cucumber, diced
2 sticks of celery, diced
½ large red capsicum, diced
100g of Danish Feta, diced
10 large sun dried tomatoes, slithered
1/8 cup of the tomato marinade
handful of parsley, chopped
small handful of sweet basil, chopped
½ large red onion, diced finely
¼ cup sliced olives

Tonight we added about 300g of cold roast lamb, diced

Bring the Quinoa to the boil in the stock then reduce to a simmer until all the liquid is absorbed.
Empty into a bowl & leave to cool.
Add the remaining ingredients once cooled & toss well....

We have added tinned kidney beans, julienne carrot, corn kernels as well as left over cooked meats including thinly sliced Sausages... Makes a great vegetarian salad for guests as well due to the Chicken stock powder we use contains no animal products...

Have a great one all...
