Quinoa.Stuffed.Cucumber.

I stumbled across this recipe on Pinterest and I think it sounds so great and really fun to make!

Ingredients -

• 1 cup quinoa, uncooked
• 2 zucchini, quartered
• 3 bell peppers (red, yellow, orange), bite size
• 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
• 1/2 cup  (3.8 oz.) black (or green) olives, sliced
• 4 Tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• salt + pepper
• 1 Cucumber

Directions -

Following the directions, cook the quinoa accordingly. Transfer cooked quinoa to a large glass bowl.
Add cut, sliced and diced ingredients to the quinoa. Add olive oil, garlic powder, and salt + pepper. Mix together and set aside, allowing all the ingredients to soak up the flavor.

For the taste test – if it’s too dry, add more olive oil. If you’re like me & like salty things, you’ll want to add more salt.

Slice the cucumber in 1 inch slices. With a melon baller, carefully scoop out the insides. It will look like a cucumber bowl. Fill each cucumber with approx. 1-2 tablespoons of the quinoa salad.

Enjoy!
