Bulk Cooking with Quinoa Part 3

Part 3 of cooking 3 recipes with 10 cups of cooked quinoa is one of my favorite recipes.  Super simple, delicious and it is great warm or cold.  Hope you like this recipe!

Ingredients:

  • Cooked Quinoa (whatever is left after you have made your other recipes, usually about 3 cups)
  • Big bundle of Cilantro
  • 2 Tomato
  • 1 cup Frozen Corn
  • 1 Avocado
  • 1 Red Bell Pepper
  • Half Purple Onion 
  • Limes - usually 2
  • Garlic Salt - to taste
Directions:

  • Put quinoa in a large bowl
  • Chop everything! Cilantro, tomato, red bell pepper, and purple onion put in bowl with quinoa.  Avocado I put in right before we are going to eat it, so if you are eating this yummy dish now stick it in, but if you are going to put it in the fridge and eat it later hold off on the avocado till you are ready to eat!  Corn doesn't need to be chopped but it gets added in now too!
  • Cut limes in half and squeeze juice on quinoa to taste (I like a lot of flavor so I use 2 limes)  I usually zest the outside of the lime too!  Add in any garlic salt, pepper, cumin, red pepper flakes, or really any other seasonings you want.  I usually just stick to a little bit of garlic salt and call it a day.
  • Mix everything together and chill in fridge till you are ready to eat.
    Here is the final result, without the avocado because it was way to early in the morning to add it in.  I usually serve this with chips and salsa.  

    Alright so there you have 3 meals with 10 cups of cooked quinoa!  Hope you enjoyed, more bulk cooking ideas to come soon!  Happy cooking!
