Wholesome Goodness

Since I stopped running at about 16 weeks (three full months ago... tear,) my subscription to Runner's World has not seen much action. It used to be my 'go-to' read during the morning on the train, but now its inspirational personal record stories and tips on how to fit marathon training into your work week do not resonate with me and my ever-expanding waistline (...another tear.)

But!! I re-discovered the recipe section of that magazine. My first attempt is below:

Quinoa Salad -- easy, summery and healthy

2 cups of quinoa (cooked, obviously)
Veggies that you like in a salad (mine are cucumbers, radishes, tomatoes, red peppers, red onions, scallions)
A pinch of sea salt
A tablespoon of olive oil and lemon juice (although I made my own dressing -- olive oil, dry mustard, minced garlic, fresh ground pepper -- mix, leave for about 15 minutes and season whatever you want. But beware -- it's not for those, who make out right after dinner.)

Enjoy.
