Herbed Quinoa Salad (Low-fat, Oil-free)

A quinoa salad inspired by a pesto that we made for the Zucchini Cannelloni recipe at Matthew Kenney Culinary of Santa Monica.

Don’t let the mix of herbs and peas intimidate you! It is such a perfect combination and with the drizzle of lemon juice, it hits the spot. Enjoy!

Instructions

  1. Add the arugula, mint, parsley, 2 tbs peas, nuts if using, lemon juice and fresh black pepper into a food processor. Run until as fine as you can get it. You will need to stop and scrape down the side a few times if you have a large processor. Set aside.
