Quinoa salad

Last night Julie Norman came over for dinner-- and we caught up on the summer's happenings while chopping veggies and preparing a dinner together.

We made a quinoa salad-- started with one of those boxes of quinoa and brown rice with a flavor packet, and added extra quinoa to bulk it up.

We chopped and steamed: asparagus, green beans, kale, broccoli, zucchini

We also chopped: cilantro, red pepper, avocado, and cut fresh corn off the cob

Mixed together the quinoa with black beans, corn, red pepper, and cilantro and then put the steamed greens on top, and of course avocado just to top it off!

And as per tradition, Julie brought grapes for dessert!
