Summer Quinoa Salad


Campus is back in full swing. Classes to take, classes to teach, thesis to write. (And if this weekend is any indication, Madmen to watch. Hey, priorities people. I've got 'em.) I'm on a mission to find deliciously easy recipes that I can make ahead of time and have waiting in the fridge when I get home. Good thing a certain someone bought me the most massive supply of quinoa ever because I have a suspicion many variations on this simple recipe are to come. Busy schedule, please meet Summer Quinoa Salad. You two are going to be great friends, I can tell.

Ingredients:
3/4 cup dry quinoa
1 yellow pepper
1-2 tomatoes
1 onion
1 bunch basil
1/2 cup non-fat feta
1/2 cup olive oil
1 lemon

Servings: 4

1. Bring 3/4 cup quinoa and 1 & 1/2 cups water to a boil. Cover and let simmer for 10 minutes, or until quinoa is tender.


2. Meanwhile, roughly chop pepper, tomatoes, onion and basil.


3. Whisk olive oil and juice from one lemon together with a fork. Add salt and pepper to taste.
Hint: Microwave lemon for 20 seconds for maximum juice extraction. Works wonders.


4. Let quinoa cool for a few moments, then toss it together with the vegetables, dressing and feta. Serve cold. Turn on Madmen. I mean, ahem... grade something. Enjoy.

The earlier you receive treatment, the better your outcome will be.I started taking ARV to avoid early death but I had faith in God that i would be healed someday.As a Hiv patient we are advise to be taking antiretroviral treatments to reduce our chance of transmitting the virus to others , few weeks ago i came on search on the internet if i could get any information on Hiv treatment with herbal medicine, on my search i saw a testimony of someone who has been healed from Hiv her name was Achima Abelard and other Herpes Virus patient Tasha Moore also giving testimony about this same man,Called Dr Itua Herbal treatment.I was moved by the testimony and i contacted him by his Email.drituaherbalcenter@gmail.com . We chatted and he send me a bottle of herbal medicine I drank it as he instructed me to.After drinking it he ask me to go for a test that how i ended my suffering life of Hiv patent,I'm cured and free of Arv Pills.I'm forever grateful to him Doctor Itua Herbal Treatment..He assured me he can cure the following disease..Hiv,Cancer,Herpes Virus,Hpv,Pile,Weak Erection,Lyme Disease,Epilepsy,Glaucoma.,Brain Tumor,psoriasis, Cataracts,Macular degeneration,Cardiovascular disease,Chronic Diarrhea,Lung disease.Enlarged prostate,Osteoporosis.Alzheimer's disease,
