    one of my favorite ones is Quinoa salad.
    I cook and cool the quinoa, then add, cherry tomatoes, cube cucumber, red onions, snap or sugar peas, bell peppers (red, green, orange) toss lightly with sun dried tomato salad dressing. or any vinaigrette based dressing. (super friut Berry is real nice)

    Ditto.

    Instead of peas, I use broccoli. I either use Light Italian or just squeeze half EVOO/lemon concoction and I'm good!

    Ooo, I second this. My nutritionist gave me an easy coconut quinoa recipe. Could not be easier:

    Coconut quinoa
    equal parts:
    light coconut milk
    water
    quinoa

    I just leave it in the fridge ... have it with toasted almonds for something sweet.
    Will definitely try with almond milk!:smile:

    The quinoa burger recipe from Eating Well Living Thin is fabulous. I have been making them a lot lately and serving them with Trader Joe's Tzatziki sauce on top and some raw veggie sticks on the side. Yum!

    I use one less can of beans. All low sodium and organic ingredients, squeeze lime on it and double the cilantro (I LOVE cilantro). Really really delicious!

    I'm looking for new ideas for quinoa
    Thanks!

    I like making the quinoa as you normally would but instead of water or broth use vanilla almond milk. Once it is done add cinnamon, chopped medjool dates, and sliced almonds to your liking. For every half cup of cooked quinoa plus the added ingredients, add vanilla pudding (sugar-free or whatever you wish) to the mix. I do not have an exact calorie count but a half cup is less than 200 calories.

    Yum!

    Bump.

    I've pre-ordered a book called Quintessential Quinoa or something like that. Ordred the book ages ago, think it will come from the US and I won't get it til June or something mad.

    I have a recipe at home for cooked puy/green lentils, quinoa, feta-type cheese, scallions and a dressing. I add in toasted nuts and heaps of whatever you want. Probable some dried cranberries in there too. yum.

    I make my quinoa in the rice cooker with some better than bullion chicken base low sodium. Once it's almost done cooking, I add 1 cup of frozen corn, peas and/or carrots. My kids love it. And the rice cooker makes it easy peasy!
