quinoa salad, avocado and citrus
Une petite salade toute fraîche et diététique pour profiter du soleil ça vous dit ? L’amertume et le sucré du pamplemousse, l’avocat pour l’onctuosité et le croquant du quinoa, a perfect alliance. J’ai même réussi à faire manger à Monsieur du pamplemousse, lui qui déteste ça !!! Alors convaincu ?!
Une bonne fête à tous les Papas avec cette salade toute colorée ! Bonne fête Papa !

17.6.12Oh but what is the difference between “normal” quinoa and red quinoa? ? The taste ? The second is more pronounced ?
In any case, if you assure that your man liked grapefruit he usually hates it, I have to try your recipe ! (I also don't like this citrus fruit :s)
And great idea to combine orange, avocado and lemon with 🙂 It’s really fresh and maybe this pretty salad will bring summer back to Nantes !
Kisses
Emilie
17.6.12In taste there is no real difference except that I find it firmer and I also like its color !
I hope this recipe will reconcile you with grapefruit 😉 At least on our side, summer is definitely here !!!
Good evening, Kisses

18.6.12I love quinoa but I have a slight problem, when I want to make them in salad, I find that even once drained the grains remain too moist and therefore release a little water…
In any case, a very nice association., grapefruit in salads is just perfect 🙂

Emilie
18.6.12Thank you very much Cecile !
It's true, the grains stay a little damp unless you really take the time to let them dry a little..
Good evening
