A nice light salad for those hot summer days!
1 1/2 c. white quinoa
1 lbs. frozen baby peas
4 green onion
1/3 c. extra virgin olive oil
3 tbsp. apple cider vinegar
6 tbsp. lemon juice
1 1/2 tsp. sea salt
1/2 c. fresh parsley
1 c. cilantro, bunch, fresh, organic
30 oz. canned black beans
Rinse quinoa well and add to 3 cups of boiling water. Cook covered for 20 minutes. Lightly steam baby peas by adding them to quinoa pot during the last 3 mins of cooking. Let both cool. Combine oil, vinegar, lemon juice, and salt in a bowl. Add quinoa, beans, peas, onions (sliced), parsley (chopped), and cilantro (chopped). Toss gently to blend. Makes 8 one-cup servings.
