Quinoa Salad

One of the things I enjoyed the most from my last trip to Israel have been eating lots of salads.

Now that I am back to Bolivia, and having easy and cheap access to quinoa here, I have starting trying diferent recipes of quinoa salads.

Let's try one of them.

Ingredients two portions

• Quinoa Real (1/2 cup -raw-)
• Peas (1/2 cup)
• Edamame (1/2 cup)
• Cheese (Shredded)
• Bell pepper (Half of a small piece)
• Shredded carrot (1/2 cup)
• Chopped red onion (1/3 cup)
• Tomato (1 small tomato)
• Letucce (2 small leaves chopped)
• Cilantro (Chopped, one table spoon)
• Lime (The juice of 1 piece)
• Olive oil (Two table spoons)
• Salt (As little as you can)
