QUINOA TOMATO SALAD
I had this in the bistro part of an organic food store in Colonia many years ago, and it was so good and simple that I've made it over and over again since then. In place of the large chopped tomatoes you can use halved cocktail tomatoes, too. You'll notice that I don't tell you to rinse the quinoa before cooking to remove bitter taste. I've done that for years until I once forgot to do it and realized that it didn't taste bitter at all. Since then I've never again rinsed the quinoa before cooking, and it never tasted bitter. Not sure if it's just the quinoa we get here, so feel free to rinse your quinoa anyway, it sure won't hurt - I'm just being lazy :) Cooling time is not included in cooking time!

Steps:
- Cook the quinoa in the vegetable stock for 10-15 minutes or until quinoa is tender. I found that sometimes the quinoa absorbs all the liquid and sometimes not, seems to depend on the quinoa.
- Pour the cooked quinoa into a sieve and let cool to room temperature.
- Chop onion, sprinkle with salt and add red wine vinegar. Let stand until quinoa has cooled to room temperature.
- Add olive oil to the onion and vinegar, then add quinoa.
- Chop tomatoes and add to the quinoa.
- Add pepper to taste, mix well and serve either at room temperature or chilled.

Everyone who has tried this loves it. I came up with this recipe as an alternative to pasta salad. I buy all the ingredients at Trader Joes. Sometimes I get a real craving for this salad. Its tastey, crunchy and healthy. Yum!

- First rinse and drain your quinoa using a mesh strainer or sieve. Bring a small pot to medium heat and lightly toast the quinoa to remove any excess water. Stir as it toasts for just a few minutes. This step is optional but really adds to the nuttiness and fluff factor of the quinoa! Next add your water, set burner to high, and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce heat to low and simmer, covered with the lid slightly ajar, for 12-13 minutes or until quinoa is fluffy and the liquid has been absorbed.
- To make the dressing, combine avocado oil (or healthy oil of your choosing) with fresh lime juice, minced garlic, parsley, cumin, salty and pepper.
- Once your quinoa is ready, fluff with a fork and allow to cool (I usually pop mine in the fridge or freezer for a few minutes to cool it) then combine with tomatoes, green onion, chickpeas, and any extra parsley you'd like! I usually add 2-3 TBSP of extra parsley - I love the flavor! Toss salad with half of the dressing and dive in! Drizzle extra dressing on the salad as desired and feel free to add any additional seasoning to taste.

After the quinoa has cooled for 15 minutes, chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.
- In a serving bowl, toss the chilled quinoa with the olive oil, basil, tomatoes, and salt and pepper to taste. Serve as a salad or a side.
