Sorry I haven't been updating!! Life in Arizona has been great. I've moved in with Rebecca Marwijkow's family and so haven't been doing that much cooking... Papa Marwijkow is an AWESOME cook. To thank him for said awesomeness, we made him a bangin' father's day dinner.
We decided to make a quinoa salad and tilapia; Rebecca and I were in charge of the salad. I've had the salad before but didn't realize how sorta complicated the recipe was. The complications made it SO delicious though- to give the cucumbers some extra flavor, you salt them and then soak them in water for 15 min, and then dry them. A little extra taste I wasn't expecting!!
The salad basically has cucumber, tomato, onion, cilantro, pepper, and avocado, along with a oil and vinegar dressing, all thrown together with quinoa.
This is the link to the recipe for more legit instructions: http://www.nytimes.com/2010/07/13/health/nutrition/13recipehealth.html?ref=quinoa
The finished product!! Super delicious, and awesome for leftovers because its supposed to be served cold.
We're making a dinner tomorrow as well for Papa M's birthday so I'll have more yummy things to post : )
