Photo: Lisa Wheeler

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups quinoa

3 cups water

2 medium size tomatoes

a bunch of green onions

1/2 lemon

3 tablespoons olive oil

salt and pepper

Preparation

Put your quinoa and your water in a pan. Heat over medium heat until bubbling, then cover and reduce heat to low. Cook for about 15 minutes or until all the water is absorbed.

While your quinoa is cooking, get out and wash your green onions and tomatoes. Chop them roughly.

Chop a lemon in half and squeeze one half's juice into a bowl, picking out the seeds.

Let your quinoa cool. A little warm is fine.

Add olive oil, lemon juice, and tomatoes and green onions to the pan. Stir.

Add salt and pepper to your liking.

Serve chilled

About

A super healthy and super easy recipe. I like to keep this in the fridge at all times -great for a quick snack and tasty over lettuce! Quinoa is packed with protein which makes it a great food for vegetarians.
