Toasted Quinoa Salad - cooking recipe

Ingredients

3/4 cup uncooked quinoa
1/2 cup carrot, grated
1/2 cup red capsicum, chopped
1/4 cup parsley, chopped
1/4 cup coriander, chopped
1 Spanish onion, chopped
1 tablespoon lemon juice or 1 tablespoon other citrus juice
1 tablespoon tamari soy sauce or 1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon fresh ginger, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, chopped finely
1 teaspoon fresh chili pepper

Preparation

Rinse quinoa and drain (as you would with rice). Place in small saucepan with 11/2-2 cups of water.
Bring to the boil, cover, reduce heat to low and simmer (12-15 minutes) until tender and all water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let stand for 10 minutes. Fluff with a fork and let cool.
Mix carrot, capsicum, parsley, coriander and Spanish onion in large bowl. Add cold quinoa and toss to combine. Whisk together citrus juice, tamari, ginger, garlic and chili. Pour over salad and combine well.
