Vegetable Quinoa

I made this one up myself!  You can really add any vegetables you have on hand.

Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 cups quinoa
• 3 cups vegetable stock
• 1 onion
• 1 teaspoon minced garlic
• 1 zucchini, chopped
• 1 yellow squash, chopped
• 1 can beans (I like red beans)
• several huge fistfuls of arugula (I use the pre-washed and bagged)
• half a container of sweet cherry tomatoes, chopped in half
• oil & vinegar salad dressing of your choice

Instructions:

1. Make the quinoa according to directions (with vegetable stock instead of water).  You can add a little salt and olive oil to make it tastier.
2. In a separate pan, sauté the onions in coconut oil (or olive oil) for about 5 minutes, then add the beans.  A bit later, add the garlic, zucchini and yellow squash.
3. Add the cooked quinoa and sauté a few minutes to give it a toasted flavor.
4. Remove from heat.
5. Add the arugula and tomatoes.
6. Pour the salad dressing on the mixture to taste.
7. Serve!
