    It has always frozen well for me in the past! Just use it within a month or two.
    Ingredients
    One of my favorites, Southwest quinoa salad! Yum- 140 calories per serving!
    1 cup quinoa
    1 each red, orange, yellow bell pepper
    4 roma tomatoes
    1 cucumber
    1 bunch cilantro
    juice of 1 lime
    as much olive oil as lime
    cumin, coriander, garlic, salt to taste


    Directions

    Bring 1 cups quinoa to boil in 2 cups water (and a pinch of salt), simmer 15 mins. and remove from heat. Let cool, fluff with fork and add to finely chopped veggies. Whisk or shake up lime juice with olive oil and desired spices. Toss altogether. Might like to add some heat...

    Serving Size: makes 10 x 1c servings

    Number of Servings: 10

    It's also so good mixed with dried cranberries, apricots, salt, garlic and some other spices.
