Quinoa Salad

Overview

What is quinoa: Originating in the Andes Mountains of South America, it is the main traditional food of the Inca indigenous people. Due to its rich and comprehensive nutritional value, the ancient Incas called it the tree of food. Because it is easy to cook and digest, has a unique taste, and has a light nutty fragrance, it has obvious effects on supplementing nutrition, enhancing body functions, repairing the body, regulating immunity and endocrine, preventing diseases, anti-cancer, and losing weight. Therefore, it is listed as the world's top 10 nutritional foods, the most potential cereals and super cereals. Quinoa is unfamiliar to ordinary urbanites, but we only need to remember its value and characteristics, integrate it with the ingredients suitable for it, and add a touch of green, a little health, and a little more care to our family and friends when H7N9 envelopes our lives.

Ingredients

Steps

1. 1 Wash the prawns, slice them gently along the back, and cut them into two pieces.

   

2. 2 Use a toothpick or the tip of a knife to remove the intestinal glands from the abdomen of the shrimp.

   

3. 3 Boil the water, sprinkle in an appropriate amount of salt, add a little olive oil if possible, simmer for 1 minute, remove and cool, and set aside.

   

4. 4 Avocado cutting tips, because there is a round fruit inside the avocado, so we first cut the avocado in half with a knife, but do not damage the hard core inside.

   

5. 5 Hold both ends of the avocado and twist firmly to unscrew.

   

6. 6 Insert a knife into the core and twist it clockwise so that the core will fall off smoothly.

   

7. 7 Cut the avocado flesh into small pieces and set aside.

   

8. 8 Wash the red cherry tomatoes, dry them and cut them in half.

   

9. 9 Quinoa is an easy-to-cook ingredient, so you only need to cook it in water drizzled with olive oil for about 15 minutes. (Another tip: cooked quinoa will reveal a tiny tail)

   

10. 10 Dice the shallots and set aside.

    

11. 11 Chop the jalapeno rings and set aside.

    

12. 12 When all the ingredients are put together, I also like to add some basil and arugula for texture and layering.

    

13. 13 Grate a little lemon peel for a hint of fragrance.

    

14. 14 Add appropriate amounts of olive oil and apple cider vinegar, the ratio is 3:1.

    

15. 15 Add salt and black pepper, mix well, and a sharp tool against H7N9 is born. For a better life and for the people you want to care about, make a quinoa salad.
