My new obsession is quinoa. However i'm struggling to find dressings or sauces to add to the dish. Can anyone recommend any? Or do you use vegetable stock to give it extra flavour?

    I make a dish with quinoa, salsa, black beans and daiya cheese. I think you can google that and the recipe pops up. :)

    I love Tessamae salad dressings. All of them are awesome but green goddess is my favorite.

    Mixed with egg and cheese and pressed into a muffin tin (liners recommended), baked, and dipped in pasta or tomato sauce is great.

    Guy Fieri on food network does a good one with red quinoa and citrus, with jicama, orange segments, cilantro,etc. really good and I add grilled chicken for protein and make it a meal.

    This quinoa recipe was recommended to me by another MFP user over two years ago. It is still my favorite. It gets better with time, so I make a batch and store it in the fridge and piece of it for about a week. Enjoy!

    I always cook quinoa in chicken broth and never season it. I sometimes add feta cheese. Quiona goes with everything!

    That's why I hide it with cheese. ;) It always tastes dirty (or "earthy") if it's not very heavily seasoned or hidden behind fat. Soooo I don't usually eat it.

    Don't forget buckwheat and amaranth. I mix all three and it's really good.

    I love making quinoa stir frys. I just sautée some veggies (red pepper, onion, snap peas, bok choy, broccoli, etc.) cook tofu, and make some quinoa and throw them all together. :) Yum

    I love these quinoa chipotle meatballs and they freeze well in portions or flash frozen.

    I also really like this Quinoa fiesta enchilada bake. Also freezes well in portions (add the avocado and scallion after warming up!)
