I'm trying out quinoa and have a cup or so of left overs... Anyone have any ideas to use it up?

    Try quinoa tabouli! Add in chopped parsley , diced seeded cucumber, chopped mint, cherry tomato halves. Dressing is olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and pepper to taste. Have as a side dish or a meal on a bed of greens

    I like making a quinoa salad...throw in some diced peppers, cucumber, grape tomatoes, kalamata olives, and some feta...little olive oil and vinegar and some fresh herbs...excellent.

    I mix mine with a little adobo sauce and roasted peppers (trader joes has a bag of frozen fire roasted peppers and onions making it quick) then add it to my turkey wraps or salad, topped on grilled chicken.

    You can also use larger muffin tin and make larger serves.

    I make these all the time and they are super yummy. You could cut the recipe in half if you don't have enough quinoa:

    Quinoa Overnight Oats! 1 Cup of Oats, 1/2 Cup of Quina, 1 cup of fat free yoghurt & 200 ml Almond Milk - add fruit and nuts to give taste, mix and leave sealed in the fridge overnight!

    Quinoa Pud - mix with dried fruits and nuts and sprinkle cinnamon! Add Almond or Coconut Milk if you find the texture too dry!

    I've made quinoa/salmon patties. They're yummy!... I guesstimated the ingredients though.

    Quinoa salad, quinoa "burgers", or just toss it into some soup!
