Quinoa Salad
After receiving the package sent to me by my friend Pixie, of You say tomahto, I say tomayto, I made this quinoa salad.
I saw some ideas of other salads but did not have some of the ingredients so I decided to make my own recipe, with ingredients I had at home.
I am submitting this recipe to Sangeeth of Art of Cooking Indian Food, hosting the event Eat Healthy.

Kopiaste and Kali Orexi,
lovely recipe....very nice entry..thanks for sending this to eat healthy.....
Can you believe that I have yet to have the chance to try quinoa. I have only just learnt to pronounce it properly...wink...wink...
I just tried quinoa recently. I rinsed it...and then cooked it. It was really sticky. I wonder if I should have rinsed it more? I think a Greek version sounds wonderful.
Blogging gets really crazy, doesn't it? It's hard work. Don't work too hard, Ivy!
Emiline you are right blogging is really hard work. I read that processed quinoa does not need to be washed so I skipped that part.
What a wonderful and refreshing salad!
I'm with you girls, blogging/cooking/photographing/posting/reading others's blogs is so hard!!! That's why we have to eat healthy 😀
