Tangy Quinoa with Spinach and Cherry Tomatoes
Ingredients
- 1 c. quinoa
- 1 ¼ c. water
- Salt, black pepper
- 2 c. baby spinach
- 1 c. cherry tomatoes, halved
- Olive oil
- Fresh lemon juice (2)
- Thick balsamic vinegar
- Freshly grated Parmesan cheese, optional
Instructions
- Place quinoa in boiling salted water. Reduce heat and simmer for about 12 minutes or until liquid is absorbed and is tender. Taste for seasoning. Quinoa is pretty bland, so may need great deal of seasoning.
- When quinoa is done cooking, turn off heat and place spinach in pot. Mix well. Cover and allow spinach to wilt, about 3-5 minutes.
- In a serving bowl, place the quinoa with spinach and add the tomatoes.
- Drizzle with olive oil and lemon juice. Mix well. Add more seasoning if needed.
- When ready to serve, drizzle thick balsamic vinegar and sprinkle with fresh grated parmesan cheese.
Notes
*****If you cannot find the thick balsamic vinegar, just use regular but a good quality one.
