Cleansing Lime Quinoa Dish
Health Highlights
Quinoa is one of the most protein-rich foods we can eat. It is a complete protein containing all nine essential amino acids.

Ingredients


1 cup Quinoa, uncooked
2 cup Water
1 pinch Sea Salt
1 tbsp Lime juice (fresh) (or more to taste)
1/3 cup Parsley, fresh (or add other fresh green herbs like cilantro, dill, basil or scallions)

Instructions


Rinse quinoa and drain.

Place it in a medium saucepan with water and sea salt. Bring to a boil and then reduce heat to simmer.

In the meantime, chop the parsley and juice the lime.

When the quinoa has absorbed almost all the liquid, let it cool down for at least 10 minutes and fluff it with a wooden spoon.

Next, add the parsley and lime juice.

If you add everything in right away, the cilantro may wilt a bit.

Tip

Add some steamed greens and cooked protein to make this a complete meal.
