My quinoa salad...

In response to the request of my readers, here's the recipe for the quinoa salad I offered my guests this summer in Punta del Este...

(Serves two)

Soak a cup of quinoa in water for at least three hours, although it'll be better if you leave it all night,

Rinse thoroughly and then boil for 10 minutes.

Strain and let cool.

Fix the salad with a cup of toasted and chopped almonds, cashew nuts and macadamias. Add some tomatoes (with no skin nor seeds), cut in cubes, green and black olives, cut in cubes also and, to add more taste, some pickles in vinegar.

Season with chopped coriander, parsley and mint, and some lemon juice and olive oil.

You can also add some dry cranberries (chopped) to give the salad a sweet flavour.

Place in the refrigerator for a couple of hours.

It's really tasty!!
