Parsley and Quinoa Salad Recipe

Another great quinoa recipe from my friend Sunny. You can add anything but I think the dressing is a real winner here. Easy to prepare and low calorie.

Parsley and Quinoa Salad Recipe
1 cup cooked quinoa
1/2 cup tomato or cherry tomatoes
1/2 cup cucumber
1 cup flat leaf parsley
1 medium avocado

Dressing
1 tbsp EVOO
2 tbsp lemon juice
1/2 tsp honey or agave nectar
salt and pepper

Optional Toppings
dried cranberries
roasted walnuts
pumpkin seeds
sunflower seeds
dried apricots
raisins

1)Place all salad ingredients and quinoa in a bowl.
2)Wisk dressing. You can add more lemon juice or no honey at all.
3)Pour dressing unto salad and add additional toppings. Toss gently.
4)Enjoy or keep in fridge for 2 hours for extra flavor.

Makes 2 servings.
