1 c.

1 ½

3

Bring the vegetable stock to a boil, add the quinoa,
bring to a boil again, then cover and reduce heat to a
low simer. Cook the quinoa until all the liquid has
been absorbed, about 15 minutes. While the quinoa is
cooking, make the dressing by combining the vinegar,
olive oil, garlic and salt. When the quinoa is done,
put in a large mixing bowl, fluff with a fork and let
cool. When the quinoa is cool, add the rest of the
ingredients and the dressing, toassing well to blend.
Serve on a bed of spring greens and top with toasted
pumpkin seeds if you wish. Serves 4 to 6.
