Today we’re sharing another five-ingredient, healthy meal/snack to help you stick to those New Year’s resolutions. This “sushi” recipe from Ann at Healthy Tasty Chow features 2011′s ever-popular grain: quinoa. According to WHFoods.org, quinoa is high in protien and includes all nine essential amino acids. Magnesium rich, the grain has also been thought to help those who suffer with migranes. Why not give it a chance for 2012 also?!
Deconstructed Quinoa Sushi
Ingredients:
1 cup quinoa
1/2 cup Saucy Mama Pacific Rim Ginger Dressing
1 small avocado, diced
2 medium tomatoes (I used Kumato), diced – cucumber could be used to be truer to sushi – but I thought tomato would be better for this
8 sheets crunchy seaweed snacks
Directions:
Cook quinoa according to package instructions. Add Pacific Rim Ginger Dressing to the quinoa – continue to cook on low until sauce is absorbed – about 3 minutes.
Remove from heat and cool- either room temperature or chilled. Right before serving, add avocado and tomato, stir.
Sprinkle top with seaweed snacks prior to eating – don’t wait too long to eat or the seaweed will lose its crunch!
