Name: Food Friday : Quinoa and Corn Salad | Loulou
Total time: 25 min
Ingredients: 1 cup Quinoa, rinsed (use a fine mesh sieve or the small grains will fall through the holes); 2 cups water, less a couple of tablespoons, to cook Quinoa; About 3/4 cups cooked and cooled corn kernals, frozen, canned or fresh. (Since fresh corn sticks together, roughly chopped into small bite sized pieces); 8 mushrooms thinly sliced; Some red or green bell pepper cut into small cubes, about 2 tablespoons; Some hot spicy pepper cut into small cubes, about 1 teaspoon depending on heat level. Optional; 1 clove garlic, centre core removed and then minced; 1 heaping tablespoon minced green onion, chives, or mild onion; 2 tablespoons of minced fresh herbs. Parsley and oregano leaves are good but if you're only going with one, I'd use oregano.; Optional but delicious : about 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves; Feta cheese, about 2 square inch piece, cut into small cubes; 1/4 cup olive oil for the dressing + 2 teaspoons for sauteing the mushrooms; 1/8 cup red wine vinegar or more to taste; 3/4 teaspoon + a few shakes of salt
