Sweet Corn Kernels are so 2011...

...and so is Quinoa. Both these ingredients have been staging a major comeback in the kitchen arena of the Frazzimatis residence. Well actually not really a comeback, more of a debut. In an effort to cut back on our wheat intake, I have been adding quinoa fast and furious to many our dishes. It's super healthy, easy to dress and looks pretty to boot!

Romaine, Quinoa, Corn, Edamame, Pink Onion and Greek Basil Salad

Yup, just like it says - chop everything up and throw everything in a bowl. I eyeball my serving sizes but for two people usually these measurements work:

1 head of romaine, 1 cup of quinoa, 1 small can of corn, 1 cup edamame, 1/4 red onion and 1 handful of chopped Greek Basil. (Do you notice a measurement theme here?)

For the dressing - I dress directly on the salad instead of mixing separately and then pouring.

Now for precision at it's finest:

Healthy dose of Olive Oil, juice of 1 lemon, dash of dijon mustard, splash of soy, splash of apple juice, a not so shy sprinkling of powdered cumin, salt and pepper.

Enjoy!
