Salata de quinoa cu tofu – Quinoa and tofu salad

Zilele acestea am incercat pentru prima data quinoa si pot sa va spun ca este foarte buna si hranitoare. Am preparat un soi de salata greceasca vegana.

Ingrediente:

• 1 cana si jumatate quinoa;
• 3 cani apa fierbinte;
• 300g rosii, spalate, taiate cuburi mici;
• un castravete Fabio, curatat, taiat cubulete;
• masline Kalamata si masline negre, taiate feliute;
• o cutie de tofu, taiat cuburi (am folosit din varianta cu ardei);
• suc de lamaie;
• ulei de masline extravirgin;
• putina sare;
• oregano.

Se fierbe quinoa in apa fierbinte aproximativ 15 minute apoi se lasa la racit. Se amesteca apoi quinoa racita cu rosiile, castravetii, maslinele, tofu, sucul de lamaie, uleiul extravirgin, putina sare si oregano. Nu puneti multa sare pentru ca si tofu si maslinele sunt sarate. Pofta buna!

These days I tried for the first time quinoa and I can tell you it’s very tasty and hearty. I prepared a sort of vegan Greek salad.

Ingredients:

• one cup and a half quinoa;
• 3 cups hot water;
• 300g tomatoes, washed, diced;
• a big cucumber, peeled, diced;
• Kalamata and black Olives, sliced;
• cubed tofu (I had the sweetpepper variety);
• lemon juice;
• extravirgin olive oil;
• a bit of salt;
• oregano.

Boil quinoa in hot water for around 15 minutes and let it cool. Mix it afterwards with the tomatoes, cucumber, olives, tofu, lemon juice, olive oil, a bit of salt and oregano. Don’t exagerate with salt because oves and tofu are salty enough. Enjoy!
