Lemony Quinoa image

Quinoa is a delightful grain. It has a softness and a surprising little bite to it. This is so far my favorite way to eat quinoa. I eat it as a quick main dish for one, but it is great added to a salad or as a side. Serve this warm or room temp.

This quinoa dish is a great way to use up leftover vegetables. I added some chopped broccoli and carrots to the quinoa and it turned out great. The lemon-herb sauce is also very versatile. I've used it on fish, chicken, and even tofu.
