I am trying to make it up to you for not posting for several days now but the past days were quite hectic and I hardly found any time to visit your blogs but merely managed to publish the comments you have left. So thank you very much and sorry for not replying to each one of you and here are three recipes, one of them is what I made with the quinoa sent to me by Pixie, of You say tomahto, I say tomayto.
I saw some ideas of other salads but did not have some of the ingredients so I decided to make it with ingredients I had at home.
I am submitting this recipe to Sangeeth of Art of Cooking Indian Food, hosting the event Eat Healthy.

- 1 cup of quinoa after boiling

Boil the quinoa and leave it to cool down. Wash and peel vegetables, wash and cut herbs and mix all ingredients together.

lovely recipe….very nice entry..thanks for sending this to eat healthy…..
Can you believe that I have yet to have the chance to try quinoa. I have only just learnt to pronounce it properly…wink…wink…
I just tried quinoa recently. I rinsed it…and then cooked it. It was really sticky. I wonder if I should have rinsed it more? I think a Greek version sounds wonderful.
Blogging gets really crazy, doesn’t it? It’s hard work. Don’t work too hard, Ivy!
Emiline you are right blogging is really hard work. I read that processed quinoa does not need to be washed so I skipped that part.
What a wonderful and refreshing salad!
I’m with you girls, blogging/cooking/photographing/posting/reading others’s blogs is so hard!!! That’s why we have to eat healthy
