Got any good quinoa recipes?

kiloyd · 04-26-2016, 07:13 PM

I made a quinoa salad a long time ago and liked it but do not remember what I put in it.

Looking for any good recipes.

My kids are not big quinoa eaters and I have tried a variety of recipes.

The only success I have had with it with the kids (and dh) is when I use it to bake a crust. Like for a quiche or whatever. Somehow when it's a crust they are ok with it.

Have you tried any at 101 cookbooks? The bowls are really good. I haven't made all of these, but what I have made has been yummy. She used to have an avocado dressing recipe that I put on cooked cold quinoa and veggies, but I can't seem to find it right now. Essentially it was avocado, yogurt, and lemon juice whizzed up in the food processor. (Maybe some garlic? I can't remember all the seasonings, but I tend to experiment,anyway.)

We enjoy this side dish. Add some chicken and it's a main meal.

I have made all of these to great reception, despite my family not loving quinoa

We turn greek salad into quinoa salad on a regular basis. It's good. So tomatoes, bell peppers, cucumber, olives, feta, and greek dressing.

This one is also good, but very sweet (pretty sure this is the same recipe we use, different website though):

I've never had Tabbouleh, but I once knew a cat named Tabbouleh.

That might make me hesitant to try the dish.
