Cilantro Lime Quinoa

I found this recipe at Whole Food Mommies.

Ingredients:
  • 1 c. quinoa, cooked according to package
  • 1/2 bunch cilantro, chopped finely
  • 1 Tb. olive oil
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
Directions:

Place all ingredients in a medium bowl and toss to combine.

Notes about this recipe:
  1. Be sure to get your cilantro leaves off the stem before chopping finely.
  2. I cooked my quinoa in 1/2 vegetable broth and 1/2 water, to give it more flavor. You could completely replace the water with veggie broth if you wanted, or just stick to the water.
  3. I used it as a taco filler, along with sauted veggies & black beans with fajita seasoning. (See picture below.)
