Quinoa ....

Our cafeteria's at work always feature a different food each week

and the chef's all come up with recipes to highlight whatever the

featured food is

 

One week it was asparagus and the chef in our cafeteria made

a quinoa salad that was wonderful

 

he gave us the recipe but did not give measuring amounts but

it's so simple, you can just wing it

 

I used a cup of quinoa, cooked and drained

I roasted the asparagus in the oven with olive oil drizzled all over

waited for it to cool and then sliced it into bite size pieces

mix with the cooled quinoa, add raisins, walnuts and sliced almonds

add salt and pepper

that's it.......no dressing at all

the oil from the asparagus keeps it all moist

you just know this salad is so healthy.......and good!!
