Recipe-Ingrediants

A wonderful salad, refreshing, healthy, nutritious, satisfying, and incredibly tasty. Personally, it's one of my favorite salads that I often make as a side dish for fish, meat, or as a light meal. I simply love it! Keep this recipe, as it will become one of your favorites.

Our ingredients:

1 green bell pepper

1 red bell pepper

1 yellow bell pepper

2 large portobello mushrooms

1 zucchini, sliced lengthwise

1 eggplant, sliced

1 cup quinoa

For the sauce:

1 ripe tomato, peeled and deseeded

½ dry onion

10 basil leaves

8 tbsp olive oil

2 tbsp white vinegar

1 small garlic clove (optional)

Salt and pepper

Directions

We grill our vegetables on a grill or barbecue, seasoned with salt, pepper, and a drizzle of olive oil. Then, we chop the grilled vegetables into small pieces (cubes), starting with peeling the bell peppers. While we carry out this process with the vegetables, we boil the quinoa. The boiling process is similar to cooking rice.

In a blender, we combine the ingredients for the sauce. We blend them together and taste for seasoning.

We drain and rinse the cooked quinoa. Then, we place it in a bowl with the chopped vegetables. We pour the sauce over the salad and mix well. We taste for salt and pepper.

Simply... perfect!
