Pesto Quinoa Recipes
PESTO QUINOA SALAD
My daughter-in-law got me hooked on quinoa, and I'm so glad she did! I've been substituting quinoa in some of my favorite pasta recipes, and this dish is the happy result of one of those experiments. I love using my garden tomatoes and peppers in this salad; however, sun-dried tomatoes and roasted red peppers are equally delicious. -Sue Gronholz, Beaver Dam, Wisconsin

PESTO QUINOA
I got this recipe from a friend who was living in Ecuador. Quinoa was a staple of her diet there; it is a great source of protein.

- Cook the quinoa (or use our Instant Pot quinoa method): Use a strainer to rinse the quinoa in cold water and shake it dry. Then place the quinoa in a saucepan with the water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Simmer where the water is just bubbling for about 17 to 20 minutes, until the water has been completely absorbed. (Check by pulling back the quinoa with a fork to see if water remains.) If necessary, stir once to incorporate any uncooked grains on the top.
- Turn off the heat, cover, and let sit with the lid on to steam for 5 minutes. Then fluff the quinoa with a fork. Stir in the pesto and kosher salt, to taste.
