Beetroot Quinoa
Do you also look for ways to make easy- peasy and quick dinner?
There are days when I don't feel like investing much time in cooking. All I want is a quick and healthy dinner and yesterday was one such day. I made this meal in less than 15 mins because I had some boiled quinoa lying in my refrigerator. Yes, I usually boil a batch which saves a lot of time and it goes well for 4-5 days.
Just for a change in flavour, this time I added beetroot to my quinoa which is not easy for me to eat in raw form and maybe for you too. Isn't it?
But you definitely will enjoy it in this form. Also I paired this meal with a glass of cucumber raita & the combo was heavenly.

How to Cook Quinoa How to Cook Quinoa
I wanted to try some extremely nutritious quinoa.☆The ratio of water and quinoa is 2:1☆If this is your first time having quinoa, it will probably taste a little weird, so it's a good idea to flavor with some salt, but you don't need to add the olive oil. You don't need to eat it as is, you can add 2 tablespoons to 2 rice cups of rice when cooking white rice to make it more delicious. Recipe by -haruchan-

Greek Style Quinoa Salad Greek Style Quinoa Salad
This makes for a protein packed, fresh lunch. Perfect for if you have some leftover quinoa sitting in the fridge. It keeps for a few days, so it's good for meal prepping. It's also easy to customize it to your liking. If you're not a fan of quinoa, I'm betting this would be really good as a pasta salad, or over some chopped romaine. If you'd like to take the 'bite' out of the raw onions, then soak them in some cold water for a few minutes before adding them.
