I only have two days to recover before my mom gets here so on Monday I made a huge batch of quinoa and grabbed as many veggies as I could.
Last night's dinner was so easy, so fresh, and so healthy that it might become a permanent Monday night meal.
The Goods:
2 cups of uncooked Quinoa
1 beef tomato
1 pkg herbed goat cheese
1 chopped red pepper
1 chopped zucchini
1 can of black beans
lemon juice
olive oil
oregano, parsley, salt & pepper to taste
Directions
1. Cook quinoa and chill in the fridge for 1 hour
2. Chop veggies and combine with chilled quinoa - crumble cheese
3. Toss with lemon juice and olive oil and add herbs
4. Enjoy!
Tonight I used extra quinoa for a kale ceaser salad with avocado, crispy garbanzo beans and chopped almonds.
Tomorrow? Pizza.
I am the same way!!!! I ruin it on the weekend.
ReplyDeleteMmmmm I would LOOVE this (minus the olives, can't handle the truth). Mmmmm. Now you have me craving quinoa for lunch!
ReplyDeleteDelicious! I love a veggie-packed salad on quinoa, farro, or some other grain
ReplyDeleteYum! Bet it's good with feta too!
ReplyDeleteI made this quinoa salad a few weeks ago and had a little bit of it every day for lunch! So tasty!
