quinoa salads
This is just one example of a gluten free Quinoa Salads. What you can do is make it up with your own choice of gluten free salad vegetables. You can also use seeds and legumes such as sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, sesame seeds, chick peas, haricot beans and freshly shucked garden peas. I also use walnuts and almonds but for people on a gluten free diet these can sometimes be a trigger for other allergies. You will know what you can eat and sort out your salad ingredients accordingly.
You can serve your salad with meat slices or simply eat it on its own. As it is a complete protein it makes a completely nutritious meal on its own. I nearly always place the quinoa salads on a bed of salad leaves or raw spinach. You can also top it with a sprinkling of raw quinoa sprouts making it doubly nutritious.

The nurse I was speaking to told me that we can expect to see lots of publicity and news following this new find.The problem is how do you make them palatable as they are not the tastiest things in the world. Linseed Oil is quite unpleasant to my palette. The seeds are much more tolerable although I would never call them delicious.One thing you can do is add a spoonful to your porridge at breakfast.
Firstly rinse the under a tap to ensure the saponin coating is completely removed. Some times this will not be needed as it comes pre rinsed. If it foams under a tap then you need to rinse the foam off. If you do not then the salad will taste slightly bitter. Then boil it in the water for 10 minutes or until all the water is absorbed.
Now mix in all the ingredients with the cooled quinoa and add your preferred dressing. If you are serving your Quinoa Salads immediately then the dressing is optional. You will find that it keeps better in the fridge if you use a salad dressing of some kind. So you can make double and use it over 2 days.
I also devised this easy linseed and quinoa recipe this week. The linseeds used were straight from the packet and were prewashed. Because this recipe does not involve cooking the linseeds you get the most benefit from just eating them raw.
