Happy August! So my hubby found this recipe for me [by the Shaytards], because I am always wanting more protein ideas. (I would give you the link directly, but its a video and has inappropriate content which I do not really prefer to pass along). As you might recall, I am a vegetarian, and I get tired easily of my regular options. I think anyone would LOVE this recipe. I’ll give you the recipe as it is posted online. The mix is simple to change if you want to add/subtract whatever. I didn’t put in jalapenos in hopes that the kiddo would eat it. Alas, the lime juice made it a no-go. I also added more black beans. Oh, and I’d recommend chips with more of a scoop shape, because the dip falls off regular chips easily. Here is the Recipe from the Video: 1. Make Quinoa: 2 Cups Dry Quinoa & 3 Cups Water in a pot for twenty minutes, just like making rice, stirring occasionally.(Or a rice maker). 2. Meanwhile, dice/mince and toss ingredients in big bowl: 2 tomatoes 1 medium/small jalapeno 5 cloves of garlic 1/2 onion head 1/2 green pepper whole bunch (in rubber band) of cilantro add drained/rinsed cans of whole corn kernels & black beans 3. When quinoa is done, mix with above stuff. Like I said, big bowl. Dressing: 4. Mix following in a separate smaller bowl: 1/3-1/4 cup olive oil 1 table spoon cumin 1 teaspoon salt squeezed juice from two limes 5. Mix with bowl above. All done, enjoy! I ended up with a TON obviously. If I hadn’t been interrupted by a waking baby, I probably would’ve eaten half of it without realizing it. I’m glad I stopped though, the mix is pretty filling. But really good. P.S. I prefer red onions and without the jalapeno. I also don’t like garlic or cilantro. The first time I made it, I barely put those last two items in, but ended up adding more because it just made the dip POP! So add the cilantro and garlic even if you don’t like them, at least the first time!thats all
