Veggie and Quinoa Salad with Pine Nuts and Goat Cheese
Tuesday, February 10th, 2009
When you feel like you just have to have a starchy food, quinoa is a pretty good choice forlow carbers. Though a quarter cup uncooked or 1/2 cup cooked is still the equivalent of 2 starch servings (30 grams), the high fiber content reduces the net carbs, and the high protein content slows the carb release for less net effect from those carbs. I like sprinkling a little quinoa into salads. Here’s a great recipe that’s mostly veggie and a little grain to satisfy you when a carb craving hits.
Time to table: 30 minutes
Serves: 4
