| Quinoa is a great addition to your diet if you want | | | | 1 cup red quinoa |
| something healthy, nutritious and undeniably tasty. | | | | 2 cups water |
| One of my favorite red quinoa recipes is the red | | | | 6 radishes (diced) |
| quinoa and broccoli salad. For this recipe you will need: | | | | 1 red onion (diced) |
| 2 cups of cooked red quinoa | | | | 1 large tomato (chopped) |
| 1 small head of broccoli cut into very small florets | | | | ¾ cup crumbled goat cheese |
| 2-3 green onions (chopped) | | | | 2 tablespoons capers (coarsely chopped) |
| 6 oz of extra firm tofu (cubed) | | | | 2 tablespoons fresh oregano (chopped) |
| 1 clove of garlic (minced) | | | | For the dressing you will need: |
| 2 tablespoons of cooking oil | | | | 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard |
| 1/4 cup sliced almonds or walnuts | | | | 4 tablespoon red wine vinegar |
| Salt and pepper to taste | | | | 1/3 cup olive oil |
| Heat the oil in a medium skillet and sauté the | | | | Salt and pepper to taste |
| garlic. Add the tofu and sprinkle salt and pepper. Stir | | | | Bring the water to a boil and put the quinoa, cook for |
| fry for about 3 minutes or until you see the tofu | | | | 15 minutes or until the water is fully absorbed. Let |
| brown just a bit. Add the chopped broccoli and keep | | | | the quinoa cool and toss the salad ingredients with it |
| cooking until it becomes tender. Turn off the heat | | | | except for the goat cheese. For the dressing, whisk |
| and in a separate bowl, combine the red quinoa, tofu | | | | the mustard and vinegar until smooth, drizzle in olive |
| and broccoli and mix them together. Add the almonds | | | | oil and whisk it continuously until the mixture starts to |
| or walnuts and enjoy. | | | | blend. Add salt and pepper according to your taste. |
