This is a wonderful, refreshing salad - one of my favorites!
1 c. fresh basil
2 tbsp. lemon juice
2 tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
4 clove garlic
1/2 tsp. sea salt
1/4 tsp. black pepper
2 c. white quinoa
15 oz. canned kidney beans
1 c. yellow bell pepper
1/2 c. tomato
1/2 c. green onion
Place basil in a food processor. Add lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, salt, and pepper. Cover and process until nearly smooth, stopping to scrape down side as needed. Set aside. In a medium bowl, stir together cooked quinoa, the beans, sweet pepper, tomato, and green onions. Add basil mixture; stir to coat. Makes 6 servings.
