We have been trying to eat more whole grains since they have a lot of fiber, protein, and vitamins. This is a recipe I came up with for quinoa that is full of flavor and makes a great side to fish or poultry. You could also add some chick peas or grilled chicken to make it a great entree!
Ingredients:
1 cup dry quinoa
1/4 cup concentrated orange juice
1/4 cup cider vinegar
1-1/2 T. sour cream (I used fat free)
1-1/2 T. olive oil
1 T. agave nectar
1 tsp. salt
1/2 cup dried cranberries
1/4 cup chopped green onions
1/4 cup roasted pine nuts
Start by preparing the quinoa per instructions on the bag.
To make the dressing, combine the orange juice and next 5 ingredients (through salt). I used an immersion blender to mix it well.
When the quinoa is done, mix it together with the dressing, cranberries, green onions, and pine nuts.
Enjoy!
