1 cup quinoa, rinsed well (soak for a few minutes, then drain in a fine strainer)
1 tbsp. coconut oil
1 clove garlic (or two)
2 cups water
1/2 cup pecans, chopped and toasted under a broiler (or not)
1 orange, red, or yellow bell pepper, diced (my kids do better with them when they are REALLY small)
1/2 cup dried cranberries
2 green onions, chopped (use the green part too)
1/2 cup chopped cilantro
1/2 teaspoon salt
Dressing:
2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
1/4 cup fresh orange juice
1 teaspoon grated orange zest
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
2 tbsp agave
1 tbsp dried basil
Saute garlic and oil in saucepan. Add quinoa and stir until toasted. Add the water and bring to a boil. Turn down and simmer for 15 minutes. Blend the dressing ingredients in blender. Toss cooked quinoa, other ingredients, and dressing. Good hot or cold.
