Ridiculously Practical Meals: Toasted Pecan & Blueberry Quinoa Salad
I've been trying to find (mostly) healthy recipes that my husband will eat, preferably with a smile on his face. He loves quinoa and while I'm not wild about it, I thought I'd give a quinoa salad a go. Then the trouble came of trying to find the perfect quinoa salad. Well, I think I've found it.
Joy The Baker made this couscous salad about a year ago. I have been meaning to try it for a while now, but never seem to have all the ingredients at home. Well yesterday I realized I had quinoa at home and that this would probably taste pretty good with the couscous substituted for quinoa. I was right! Seriously, the only step I added was rinsing the quinoa. I even cooked my quinoa pretty much the same way she cooked her couscous (although following the directions on the back of the package is always a good idea). The only other change I made was eliminating the lemon zest and using lemon juice from a bottle rather than squeezing a fresh lemon. Even easier! It was good healthy and good tasty. For the recipe visit Joy The Baker here!
