Recipe⎮Quinoa Salad

This salad makes a great appetizer and serving the salad in endive boats makes for a captivating presentation.

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup uncooked quinoa, rinsed in a fine-mesh colander
  • 2 cups water
  • 1 tsp Chalice Spice Vegetable Broth Soup Mix
  • 1 can (15 ounces) chickpeas, rinsed and drained, or 1 ½ cups cooked chickpeas
  • 1 medium cucumber, seeded and chopped
  • 1 medium red bell pepper, chopped
  • ¾ cup chopped red onion (from 1 small red onion)
  • 1 teaspoon of Chalice Spice Mexican Seasoning
  • 1/4 cup of fresh chopped flat parsley 
  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • ¼ cup lemon juice (from 2 to 3 lemons)
  • 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
  • 2 cloves garlic, pressed or minced
  • Chalice Spice Himalayan Pink Salt and Peppercorn, , to taste

Preparation:

  1. Cook the quinoa by combining the rinsed quinoa, the water and Chalice Spice Vegetable Broth Powder in a medium saucepan.
  2. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, then decrease the heat to maintain a gentle simmer. Cook until the quinoa has absorbed all of the water, about 15 minutes, reducing heat as time goes on to maintain a gentle simmer. Remove from heat, cover, and let the quinoa rest for 5 minutes, to give it time to fluff up.
  3. In a large serving bowl, combine the chickpeas, cucumber, bell pepper, onion and parsley. Set aside.
  4. In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, vinegar, garlic and salt. Whisk until blended, then set aside.
  5. Once the quinoa is mostly cool, add it to the serving bowl, and drizzle the dressing on top. Toss until the mixture is thoroughly combined. Season with black pepper, to taste, and add an extra pinch of salt if necessary. For best flavour, let the salad rest for 5 to 10 minutes before serving.
  6. Serve chilled or at room temperature.

Chef's Tip:

Since salad keeps well in the refrigerator, covered, for about 4 days, it is a great recipe to make ahead when you are planning for a large gathering.

Bitcoin is the world’s most popular Digital Currency, and it has experienced a great deal of turbulence in the past years. Despite the fluctuating market, many users have experienced theft of their Bitcoin assets. Fortunately, it is possible to recover stolen Bitcoins, and there are a few expert teams available to help.

I learned this firsthand, as I was recently the victim of a Bitcoin theft. I was able to recover my stolen Bitcoins with the help of talk2us@sacluxcomptechspecialst.com. John referred me to a team of experts who specialize in Bitcoin recovery.

The team was able to help me trace the stolen funds back to their origin, and then take legal measures to recover them. The first step was to identify the wallet that had received the stolen funds and then take the necessary steps to freeze the wallet. The team was able to freeze the wallet and return the stolen funds to me, which was a huge relief.

The team also provided me with advice and guidance on how to better protect my Bitcoin assets in the future. They recommended that I use a hardware wallet to store my Bitcoin, as well as enable two-factor authentication for my wallet. All thanks to Saclux Comptech Specialst and his team for giving me a reason to smile again. website:  https://sacluxcomptechspecialst.com/

In 2020 I lost over 6 BTC. Well, the first thing I did was to google my issue, which I did. During my search process, I ran into various recovery companies, friends and colleagues who discouraged me, they said it was all a scam and I wouldn’t be able to recover my money back. I eventually contacted Saclux Comptech Specialst among the recovery companies I ran into during my Google search process and they asked a few questions which I answered and he proceeded to work on my problem, the good news is that my lost bitcoin was returned to my wallet. These are their contact in case you have a similar case like mine.
