Name: Lime Mint Quinoa Salad
Ingredients: 1 tbsp ground pepper; 1 dash sea salt; 20 leaves mint, finely diced; 3 tbsps extra virgin olive oil; 2 tbsps chopped chives; 2 cloves garlic, grated; 1 cup red and plain quinoa mix

Ingredients

1 tbsp ground pepper

1 dash sea salt

20 leaves mint, finely diced

3 tbsps extra virgin olive oil

2 tbsps chopped chives

2 cloves garlic, grated

1 cup red and plain quinoa mix

Directions

1.	Cook quinoa. Use a mix of red and plain quinoa because the red has a nicer nutty flavor.
2.	Mix everything except the quinoa, salt and pepper. Let rest 5 minutes.
3.	While quinoa is still warm, add the oil and herb mixture so that the flavor will infuse.
4.	Add salt and pepper to round out the flavors. Garnish with a bit of mint.
5.	Note: great with mint oil brushed on to grilled shrimp and scallops (see my cookbook).
