Caprese Quinoa

Quinoa seems to be this magic food. It is a complete protein and fulfills the mental need for a starch to complete a meal. I have decided to get my family to eat quinoa! This is my first step in this path.

I adore a traditional caprese salad but never find it to be quite enough for a complete meal. This perfectly encapsulates summer eating for me with fresh tomatoes and basil. And I love my cheese and I love this dish;). My kids on the other hand didn’t love it but they ate it and a couple even asked for seconds. That is a good sign, right?

Where is your family on the quinoa path? Do they like it? Have they tried it? Let me know!!!

By the way, this recipe makes quite a bit and would be a great gluten free option for a picnic or potluck!
