Warm Quinoa, Brussel Sprout, Mushroom,
& Goat Cheese Salad
I figure I've pained you with enough of my late night rambling posts, and should reward you with some food porn. Of a delicious quinoa salad I made this past weekend. Yum.
So upon realizing I had the day off, was hungry, and hadn't eaten anything "pretty" in days (weeks), I decided to pack up and head to Barrington to hang with the rents. I so so so enjoy my time up there and my time with them, so it was the perfect opportunity to unwind and do some mindless cooking. I felt like I needed a little bit of health in my system and so I opted for a quinoa salad with veggies, my all time favorite cheese: goat, and a simple dressing. My original intention was to have my veggies of choice be asparagus and mushroom, but I panicked at the grocery store and grabbed Brussel sprouts instead. Fantastic mix up. So here goes nothing.
Ingredients:
About 3 cups Brussels, chopped
1 or 2 cups mushroom medley
Kalamata olives, chopped up
Garlic
Some onion
1 cup quinoa
4oz goat cheese
Salt, pepper, olive oil, balsamic, lemon, chives
Directions:
1. Roast all of the veggies
2. Cook up that quinoa
3. Mix everything together with some cheese, oil & vinegar, salt & pepper, and a squeeze of lemon
4.Sprinkle with some fresh chives
5. EAT, preferably over some greens with some protein (see below)
Super easy, delicious, and just what I needed. ¡Que aproveche!
