Quinoa

There are a crap load of quinoa inspired salad recipes online. So I took a bit from here and there and came up with my own! It's not as pretty as some... needs more green but it tastes really good and it was easy. Like, open a couple of cans easy.

Recipe:
1 can of corn
1 can of chick peas
1 cup of uncooked quinoa (and then cook it...)
1 red pepper, diced
some green onion
clove of garlic

Dressing:
oil and balsamic vinegar to taste (sorry, i free pour)
squirt of lime or lemon
pinch of brown sugar

Throw ingredients in a bowl (the cooked quinoa's heat softens the raw pepper which is nice). Mix the dressing separately and stir it all together.

On the days I don't eat meat and what not this type of salad is a good protein kick. Keeps me from flopping over (literally).
