Quinoa Salad

(aka Almost Turkish "kısır")

Thanks to the authors of these links for the inspiration:

Ingredients:

1.5 cups quinoa, experiment with red quinoa. 
1 tbsp tomato paste
1 tbsp pepper paste (biber salcasi) (you can replace this w/ tomato paste if you can't find it)
3 cups hot water 
1 tsp sea salt (freshly ground)
1 bunch (7-8) spring onions
2-3 banana peppers (if you love hot food you can replace them with anaheim peppers) (optional)
1/3 bunch curly parsley leaves
a handful of fresh dill weed (optional)
2-4 tomatoes
4 cloves garlic
1 medium size onion
1 tbsp dried mint
1 tbsp red pepper (if you are not a hot food fan, reduce to 1/2 tbps or omit)
1 tbsp black pepper (freshly ground)
1 tsp cumin (optional)
1 tbsp sumac (optional)
Juice of 1.5 lemons
1/3 cup olive oil (extra virgin)(or avocado oil)
a handful of fresh mint leaves (optional)

How to prepare:

Rinse and boil the 1.5 cups of quinoa in 2 cups hot water. Melt the tomato and pepper pastes in 1 cup of hot water. Add the melted pastes and 1 tsp of salt to the quinoa and continue boiling the quinoa in medium (med-low) heat until the quinoa is soft. Once cooked, let the quinoa sit and cool while you proceed to dice the vegetables. You can tell quinoa is cooked when the white spirals come out.

Cut the white parts of the spring onions into two. Then dice all of them. Also finely dice the peppers, parsley leaves, dill weed, tomatoes, garlic and onion; save all this in a separate cup. When the quinoa is no longer steaming, mix the diced salad saved in a separate cup with the quinoa. 

Add the spices (you can pick and choose and slightly change the amounts of the spices to suit your taste, you probably shouldn't put more than what's listed but you can put less). Add the lemon juice, olive oil and mint leaves (not diced).

Ready to serve immediately. Bon appetit. Afiyet olsun. Enjoy!

Note: there seems to be differing opinions about whether pseudo-cereals are truly Paleo or not. In either case if you want to be 100% Paleo, simply keep them less than 2-3% of your overall diet :)
