Edamame Quinoa Salad

I've been out of town for a bit watching my two adorable nephews

(look for a VERY LONG post on that soon!),

so today I'm posting a recipe I've been meaning to get posted for awhile!

And I think it's great timing because I haven't posted about quinoa for a bit,

so I figured now would be a great day to post another delicious recipe using the super grain!

When reading a Better Homes and Gardens a few months back,

I ran across for a quinoa recipe that looked amazing.

It was simply called Edamame Quinoa Salad,

but it had LOTS of goodies I loved.

I couldn't wait to make this new quinoa recipe!!!

The Goods:

Cooked Quinoa*

1 Cup Shelled Edamame, thawed if using frozen

1 Cup Corn Kernels, I used fresh but frozen is fine

1/2 Cup Cherry or Grape Tomatoes, halved

1/4 Cup Cilantro, chopped

1/4 Cup Fresh Lime Juice

2 Tablespoons Olive Oil

Combine everything in a large bowl, toss and combine.

Package salad for lunches. Or as seen above, 

individual containers for co-workers to enjoy too!

Hope you enjoy as much as I did!!

*To cook, start with 1/2 Cup quinoa and 1 Cup water.

In a saucepan, combine water and quinoa.

Bring water to a boil, reduce heat

and simmer until water is absorbed.
