Quinoa with various veggies and a zesty (and easy) vinaigrette that makes a wonderful salad dressing for any salad. I used one English cucumber instead of 2 normal cucumbers because we prefer the taste. Cook the quinoa with the water as you would normal rice (works in a rice cooker as well).

INGRIDIENT

4 cups quinoa

4 cups water

¼ cup red wine vinegar

2 teaspoons salt

1 teaspoon ground black pepper

1 teaspoon lemon juice

4 teaspoons Dijon mustard

1 cup canola oil

2 cucumbers, peeled and chopped

1 green bell pepper, chopped

½ red onion, chopped

2 tomatoes, chopped

1 (15 ounce) can black olives, chopped

DIRECTION

Step: 1

Bring the quinoa and water to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the quinoa is tender and the water has been absorbed, about 15 to 20 minutes. Scrape the cooked quinoa into a large bowl and refrigerate until cold, about 1 hour.

Step: 2

Place the vinegar, salt, pepper, lemon juice, and mustard into a blender. Drizzle in the oil while blending at high speed until the dressing is thick.

Step: 3

Add the cucumbers, bell pepper, red onion, tomato, and olives to the bowl with the quinoa. Pour the dressing overtop and gently fold until evenly mixed.
