Fresh Summer Quinoa Salad

Man I love Summer ingredients!! This was kind of a throw together salad that ended up fabulous! So I thought I’d share 😉

Fresh Summer Quinoa Salad

serves 4-6

1 ear of corn, grilled and zipped

1/2 red bell pepper, grilled and finely diced

1 avocado, diced

1/2 cup quinoa

1 cup vegetable broth or stock

1 lime, juiced

1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro

1/2 tsp. sea salt

optional:

1 jalapeño, finely diced

Bring the quinoa and broth or stock to a boil and reduce heat to a low simmer. Let cook about 15 minutes or until all the liquid is absorbed. Remove from heat and let cool. Mix all the ingredients in a bowl and chill.

This looks great–fixing it up now. On another note, not trying to be a jerk, but “stock” is spelled “stalk” in the recipe section in case you want to/can fix it. Thanks much for the recipe.

Darn. I didn’t know it was going to post. It was meant as a note to Leslie. Sorry.
