Quinoa Salad

Recipe and picture by Petra :)

- salad pictured is without the quinoa added! -

1 cup quinoa
1 cup edamame
1/2 red bell pepper
1/2 yellow bell pepper
1/2 green bell pepper
1 tomato
1/2 cucumber
Salt and pepper to taste
2 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp lemon juice
1 tbsp fresh lemon zest (grate the lemon zest off the lemon you used for the juice but watch out not to grate the pith which tastes bitter)


Boil the quinoa according to instructions! 

Chop up all the other ingredients and put them all in one large bowl. Drizzle the olive oil and lemon juice in, add the quinoa after it has cooled off, stir all together and put in the fridge for at least 2 hours to let it chill and to let the flavors mix together. Enjoy!
