Quinoa Salad

     Hey everyone! Last night I made some tasty quinoa salad and I thought I would share it with you. Unfortunately, I didn't have all the ingredients I would normally use so I made a modified version of it. It still tasted delicious nonetheless.

     I first started with boiling 2 cups of water in a pot and pouring 1 cup of quinoa into the pot. Usually, there are instructions at the back of the bag of quinoa so you can choose to follow those directions as well.

     While the quinoa is cooking, you can prepare the vegetables you want to put into the salad. Last night, I used corn, red beans and black olives. I was lazy and used the can versions to save the trouble of preparing them.

 Once the quinoa in the pot is fluffy and has absorbed all the water, let it cool on a plate.

 While the quinoa is cooling down, put all the vegetables into a bowl. I would usually also add cucumber, red or green peppers and sometimes broccoli but I had limited resources. In the bowl also add some lemon juice, olive oil, salt and I pour a bit of white balsamic vinegar but thats optional.

 When the quinoa has finally cooled down, mix it in with the vegetables and sauce and then eat.
