Quinoa, Watercress and Tomato


Yep, with a 100 degree day, it was time to keep it light.

1 cup of Quinoa cooked in 2 cups of chicken broth.  I use the rice cooker since it's simple and comes out perfect.

3-4 Heirloom type tomatoes of medium to large size, chopped.

2 cups of chopped watercress.

Mix it all in the bowl and salt lightly.  Deceptively filling for such a simple dish, with the key ingredient being a rich chicken stock that has some fat remaining.  If that's not available and you are going to use the boxed stuff, then be sure to add a tablespoon or two of butter to the quinoa as it cooks.
