Lemon zest is my favorite way to brighten food. I love the flavor and the lift it gives to any dish. It’s not a surprise that this salad has graced our table quite a few times already. My neighbor who came over and helped me taste-test said I should write that B.P. thinks this salad is “awesome”!

Quinoa

  • 2 cups white quinoa, rinsed well

Fluff with a fork and add a teaspoon of oil to prevent sticking. Let cool.
