MARKET QUINOA SALAD. 11 Jul 2012
My sister-in-law, Laurie G. is the queen of quinoa. She inspired me to make this lean, local and seasonal dish above. It's my latest, "Make a big batch recipe on a Sunday and it lasts until Wednesday" dish. Mars loves it too.
Cook and cool your quinoa and chicken. Then, mix in whatever you have in your CSA that particular week or what you can find in-season at your local farmers market. Right now I'm loving (above): quinoa, boiled chicken (I boil mine in low sodium, organic chicken broth), tomato, artichoke, avocado and cilantro. Top with a little salt, pepper and drizzle with olive oil. Satisfying, filling, lean and so good!

My fav is quinoa, lemon juice, garlic, asparagus, squash, red peppers, and feta.

Made this salad yesterday and it will be at the top of the list for awhile. Absolutely delicious and so healthy! Didn't have ripe avocados so I used Whole Foods guacamole for a substitution and it added some great flavor. Thanks for a great recipe! :)

So good, right? I'm craving some right now! I'll have to give it a shot with the guac. Glad you like it!
