A few nights ago I made a new vegan recipe for you… As always, please buy organic food whenever possible!

Teja’s Spring Quinoa Creation

Soak 2 cups quinoa (ancient sacred grain of Peru) overnight. Cook covered, in the soaking water (with a sprinkle of Himalayan krystal salt), for 20 minutes.

While the quinoa is cooking, mix the following in a large bowl:

¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
juice of one small meyer lemon
12 medjool dates, chopped
1 cup fresh parsley, chopped (Italian flat leaf)
olives, chopped – 25 kalamata and 10 green stuffed with red peppers
½ cup wild capers
1 Tablespoon paprika
1 Tablespoon cumin powder
3 Tablespoons nutritional yeast
½ teaspoon Himalayan krystal salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper powder
1 Tablespoon maple syrup

Mix those ingredients well, then add the quinoa and toss well again. Please enjoy!

With incredible Gratitude for the food on my table, I pray that all beings have food to eat each day.

Om Shanti (Peace),

Yogini Tejaswini
