Kidney Beans and Quinoa

This is what I made for our lunches today. YUMMY!!!!! (and healthy)

  • 1 cup dried kidney beans (soak 8 hrs, drain, and boil for 1 1/2 hrs--let cool)you may use canned if you wish
  • 1 cup quinoa (cook and set aside)
  • 1 cucumber diced
  • 1 avocado diced
  • 1 tomato diced
  • raw goat milk white cheddar cheese diced (optional)
  • braggs ginger salad dressing (or something similar)
  • nutritional yeast

    Put quinoa in a bowl, and add all of the other ingredients and put a little salad dressing on it to give it some flavor. This will be good as a cold or hot salad. I also sprinkled nutritional yeast over the top (B vitamins).

    Two days ago, I just tossed steamed broccoli (cold), kidney beans, goats milk cheese and salad dressing. It was GREAT!!!
