Quinoa and spinach salad with lemon vinaigrette

Ingredients

  • 1 cup quinoa, uncooked
  • 4 cups spinach, finely chopped
  • 2 tomatoes, diced
  • 1 cup cucumbers, diced
  • ½ cup raisins
  • 3 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, rinse the quinoa a few times. Meanwhile in a medium saucepan boil 2 cups of salted water. Add the quinoa and continue to boil until the quinoa is tender – about 10 minutes. Drain the quinoa and let it cool.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the spinach, tomatoes, cucumbers, raisins and cooled quinoa.
  3. In a small bowl, make your lemon vinaigrette by combining the lemon juice, olive oil, salt and pepper, then pour onto the salad and toss to coat.
