Olay, not Old! Don't know where the accent is!
1 c. dry quinoa, cooked to directions you use. Fluff and refrigerate.
Saute in a bit of olive oil, 1 chopped onion. When about halfway to tender, add 1 chopped green pepper and 1 chopped red or orange pepper. Saute about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and add to your taste: cumin, chili powder, garlic pwd., cayenne pepper. I chill briefly in freezer to remove warmth.
When cool, add to quinoa, along with:
1 diced avocado
1-2 diced tomatoes (about 1 cup)
1 drained can of black beans
juice of 1 lime
chopped cilantro, about a cup
Add about 1/3 c. shredded cheddar or Mexican blend cheese. Toss and serve.
It has no dressing but didn’t taste dry. You could easily add other things, salsa, sour cream, other vegies, olives, whatever! The recipe called for baby spinach leaves, cut up, but we had none. Low fat, vegetarian.
