Steps

40 mins

1

in a large saucepan, add quinoa over high heat. Toast the quinoa, stirring the pan frequently, until lightly fragrant and starting to pop. Carefully add the water and salt, reduce to heat to a simmer. Cover the pot and let cook for about 20 min, or until all the water has been absorbed.
2

Meanwhile, in a measuring cup, whisk together the rice vinegar, olive oil, lemon juice, dill, basil salt and pepper.
3

Once the quinoa is done, pour about half of the dressing over the quinoa and mix well (adding it to the hot quinoa will allow the quinia to absorb the flavors.) Allow the quinoa to cool partially, then add the remaining ingredients, and top off with the remaining dressing. Mix well and serve room temperature or cold.

Wife Amanda, husband Clinton.My wife Amanda gets different recipes from all over and then converts them to a more heart healthy/reduced fat/healthier version of different meals.Now my wife most of the time comes up with some very interesting, VERY tasty and much healthier versions of things.We were looking for an app to store all of the different meals she makes and the different versions so she can make it some other time and have the results be the same.That is how and why we came to this app. We, mostly me, will go through some of the wonderful recipes on here and she will attempt to healthify (yes I made that word up) it and we will have a wonderful dinner.Us personally, we are in the process of attempting to change our lifestyle to be better examples for our two young children and for me to be around some day to give my daughters hand away in marriage.We have been working on it since March 2013 and have gone down a LARGE amount, we are extremely proud of each other, and our families are of course behind us.Therefore, if you have any healthy and tasty recipes please feel free to send them our way.
