Quinoa and Green Bean Salad

Created by KittenCal on August 14, 2013

1 cup quinoa, washed well and drained
1 1/2 cups vegetable stock
3/4 pounds green beans (fresh beans, steamed for 3-4 minutes then cut in 1-inch pieces)
1 cup tomatoes (grape tomatoes)
1 red bell pepper, seeded and diced
2 tablespoons capers
1/2 cup red onion, finely chopped

Step 1: Combine quinoa and veggie stock in a medium pot and bring to a simmer on medium heat. Reduce the heat to low, cover and cook until all the liquid is absorbed, 15-20 minutes. Set aside.
Step 2: In a large bowl, combine quinoa, green beans, tomatoes, bell peppers, capers, onions and basil.
Step 3: In a small bowl whisk the olive oil with lemon juice and garlic. Pour over salad then toss to combine. Sprinkle the top with pecans.
Step 4: Serve or refrigerate covered tightly for up to 2 days.
