This came as a "filling" for acorn squash, but I now I just make it and eat it like a cold salad.
1 cup Quinoa (cook according to directions), I then saute onion & garlic to add to it. Add (2) TBSP olive oil, and (3) TBSP red-wine vinegar. Add 1/2 cup Feta cheese, and 1/2 cup chopped pistachios. Add a pinch of red pepper flakes depending on how much "heat" you like. I don't have exact measurements, as I mostly just add the proportions that look/taste right. Sometimes I add more oil/vinegar because the quinoa does tend to absorb it. I think it's really yummy and the quinoa is high in protein. Normally I find quinoa blander than bland, but it really works in this recipe.
