Quinoa Salad

mckshowie

Make this. You won't be sorry. In fact, feel free to thank me later.

1 cup quinoa, red or white or mixed, soaked and sprouted in the same day (one cup uncooked, which is about 3 cooked)
6 french breakfast radishes (or whatever available variety), chopped 1/4" squares
1/2 small red onion (or less), fine dice
1 tomato, chopped, or equal amount of quartered cherry tomatoes
2 tbs. diced green olive or capers
2 tsp. chopped fresh parsley
dressing:
1 tbs. dijon mustard (not raw unless you make it yourself)
1/4 cup rice vinegar or red wine vinegar
1/3 cup unfiltered cold-pressed olive oil sea salt and pepper to taste

Mix and shake up dressing separately and pour over other ingredients in large bowl. Stir gently to coat everything.

I add or subtract for taste (everyone is different, ya know). I prefer vinegary and lots of olives :-)

I love quinoa and use it for tabbouleh salad, too. This recipe sounds great and will have to try!
