Vegan Recipes

Unlike rice or wheat,  quinoa contains a balanced set of essential amino acids, and a complete protein source, and it is high in dietary fiber.

• 1 1/2 cups quinoa, rinsed
• 2 1/4 cups water
• 1 garlic clove, minced
• 1/2 tsp salt

1. Combine all ingredients together in a pot, bring to a boil, cover, and reduce heat for 15 minutes or until all the water is absorbed.
2. Remove from heat, and let sit covered for ten minutes.
3. Lay quinoa out on a pan to cool, stirring occasionally with a fork.

• 1 cucumber, sliced lengthwise and cut into tiny chunks.
• 2 tomatoes chopped
• 1 cup corn, preferably sweet.
• 1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and chopped
• 1 can chickpeas, rinsed
• 4 green onions, chopped
• 1/2 cup cilantro, chopped
• 1 avocado, peeled and sliced

1. Mix all ingredients together in a bowl except for the avocado.
2. Mix together dressing as follows.

• 4 limes, juiced
• 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
• 1 tsp hot chili sauce
• salt and pepper to taste

1. When the quinoa is cooled add to bowl with other ingredients and add the dressing a little bit at a time to your liking. I sometimes add a little extra chile sauce too for an extra kick. And sometimes some extra salt or pepper.
2. Spoon into bowls and place a couple slices of avocado on top of each bowl
3. Enjoy!
