This super-easy idea also works well with other grains like rice, barley, spelt and wheat berries and pseudo-grains like kasha, wild rice. Oh, and tiny pastas like couscous.
1. Cook quinoa (1:1 grain to water ratio). Skim off any funky scum you get. Apparently this is normal.
2. In the meantime, dice up any additions you want to stir in (eg. veggies, herbs, flavor bursts like olives, capers, sun-dried tomatoes, etc). Make a dressing (super-simple can be made from two ingredients: some yummy good oil of choice with something sour, like lemon juice or caper or olive liquid, etc).
3. Mix everything together. Sprinkle with seeds for a pleasant crunch and protein boost.
