When I make quinoa, I always make too much, but the
leftovers never go to waste. If I am not making quinoa cakes with the extras, I
throw it in the freezer in 1 cup containers. This is a perfect amount to use in
a cold salad for lunch. I have had this recipe open on my laptop for a while
now, (original recipe from here: http://www.miasdomain.com/2012/06/quinoa-mozzarella-tomato-salad.html?spref=tw
) it looked so yummy I had to make it. We needed a side to go with our leftover
lamb chops for lunch tomorrow, so I threw together a loose version. This is a
perfect amount for 2 side salads or one larger meal salad. My amounts were kind
of a toss here and a toss there. If you want a more precise version, refer to
the original recipe. Her recipe uses basil, but being as something is eating my
basil every time I plant it, I substituted my garlic chives.
Cherry Tomato, Quinoa And Mozzarella Salad With Spinach
I picked a big handful of baby spinach from the garden,
approx 1 cup, rinsed and roughly chopped it. Toss in a mixing bowl, and add
around 10 cherry tomatoes, halved, ¼ cup chopped garlic chives, juice of ½ a
lemon, mini fresh mozzarella balls, 10-15 ish (if yours are big, use 4- 5 and
quarter them), 2 tbsp olive oil, salt and pepper to taste. Let flavours mingle
for a bit, and enjoy!
