Lemon and Ginger Quinoa

Veronika Sophia Robinson

I usually have a large bowl of cooked quinoa in the fridge just waiting to be used for a sweet or savoury dish. This meal makes a quick, tasty and nutritious lunch. Serve with salad or inside Romaine lettuce leaves.

There's more where this came from!
