Quinoa Salad with Cucumber, Onion, Parsley & Tomato

For a fast and filling gluten-free salad, quinoa provides lots of nutrition.  Although it is quick and easy to cook (like rice or pasta), quinoa is actually the seeds of a plant which is not really in the cereal family.

When I make quinoa, I often make a double recipe so I’ll have the leftover to make this salad the next day. It’s so easy!

Gluten-Free Quinoa Salad with Cucumber, Onion, Parsley & Tomato

Ingredients:

3/4 Cup Quinoa, cooked and drained (rinse before cooking) – about 1-1/2 cups cooked

1/2 Cup Cucumber, diced

1/8 Cup Sweet Onion, diced

2 Tablespoons Italian Parsley, snipped

1/8 Cup Diced Tomato

1 Teaspoon Oil, Olive or your favorite

1 Teaspoon Cider Vinegar, or Lemon Juice

2 Teaspoons Honey, or Agave, to taste

Salt and Pepper, to taste

Directions:

Combine ingredients.  Adjust seasonings to taste.  Chill and serve.

Makes about 2 cups.

This salad is gluten-free (no wheat, barley or rye) and casein-free, dairy-free and lactose-free, egg-free, meat-free, nut-free and soy-free.  It can also be corn-free depending on the brands of oil and vinegar you use.  I hope you find it to be a quick and easy recipe for your gluten-free cooking.
