A quick pic of this salad at dinner was all I could manage- twice now. I planned on saving some to take a nice pic the next day and... gone. All gone both times. It's really a winner of a salad. I saw it on Pinkstripes here and she saw it on Mark Bittman's site here. Of course it can be changed in a variety of ways to suit your tastes. It is so creamy and tastey. A very nice winter salad, chock full of nutrition.Quinoa Sweet Potato Salad
1 avocado, chopped
1 red pepper or roasted peppers if you have them
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 red onion, minced
2 1/2 cups of cooked quinoa
2 sweet potatoes, cubed and roasted
1/4 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons plus balsamic vinegar
1/4 cup parsley, minced
1/4 cup chopped green onion
In a sauce pan saute red pepper and onions until soft. Add garlic and cook one minute more. Add balsamic and remove from heat. Combine all ingredients in a large bowl. I like this salad luke warm.
