Quinoa and Sweet Potato Salad
- 1 cup quinoa, rinsed well
- 2 sweet potatoes, scrubbed
- 1 red bell pepper, diced
- ¼ of a red onion, minced
- ¼ cup chopped fresh parsley
- olive oil
- white wine vinegar
- salt and pepper, to taste
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees
Cook the quinoa in 2 cups of water as you would cook rice, about twenty minutes
Chop the sweet potatoes into small squares, about a half inch each. Coat with a tiny bit of olive oil, salt and pepper, and spread out on a baking sheet or in a large frying pan and roast in the oven until the potatoes are soft on the inside and slightly crispy on the outside
Toss all the ingredients and dress with the oil and vinegar.
Note: dress only as much of the salad as you would like to eat in a given sitting. The remainder of the salad will keep for days, so long as it is not dressed before consuming.
