Feature Friday: Gluten Free Quinoa Salad

This is our first ever feature Friday post! Our friend Heidi loves to eat healthy and experiment in the kitchen too, and she shared this awesome quinoa salad recipe with us. It looks delicious! Thanks Heidi! 

^^ look at all these fresh veggies ^^ 

Here's Heidi's recipe: 

Salad: 

- 2 cups cooked quinoa

- 1 can of chickpeas 

- 1 bunch of cilantro 

- 1 large green pepper 

- 1/2 of a red and 1/2 of a yellow pepper 

- 3 celery stalks

Dressing: 

- 2 part lemon juice, 1 part olive oil

- 2 tablespoons of honey- heat in the microwave for 10 seconds so it's easier to mix 

- 1 tablespoon of mustard

- chilli flakes or fresh chilies to taste

Directions: 

Cook 2 cups of quinoa in 4 cups of water over low heat. Chop veggies to desired size. Allow quinoa to cool and mix together!! It makes a ton of salad but it is really tasty! 

The recipe is gluten free, packed with protein, and is great as a side or a meal on it's own! 

Enjoy!

Heidi :)
