Great recipe Linley

[Guest guest]

Nice and spicy, which I enjoy very much. You can do so many things with quinoa.

Have you looked inside the recipe folders? So many great tried and true

recipes. I haven't opened my cookbooks in almost a year.

Hi everyone, my name is Linley and I am a new member. I have been

reading all the posts and have already picked up some wonderful tips

and recipes. I enclose my favourite quinoa recipe which is well

loved by vegetarians and non-vegos alike. Look forward to learning

more and more. Kindest regards Linley

The crisp tang of fresh limes is great with the spicy curry flavour

in this Indian-style salad. Quinoa is packed with carbs and complete

proteins that are so good you're left happily stuffed - and

energised.
