Healthy Vegetable Quinoa Pilaf Recipe

I cooked this  Healthy Vegetable  Quinoa Pilaf Recipe yesterday for dinner. I had zucchini and broccoli left over from making baby food and I thought: Ok, let’s use them and make a side dish with wonderful quinoa. A few other ingredients and a little creativity and I had another great side dish for a great family dinner.

I added a couple of eggs and some soy sauce and I guess my Healthy Vegetable Quinoa Pilaf Recipe got an Asian twist. Kind of like a vegetable fried rice mixed with a pilaf sort of creation. Sounds weird but trust me, it tastes great. My family loved it and that’s what counts.  The onion, garlic, zucchini and broccoli makes this dish a great way to incorporate more vegetables into your daily diet.

Super nutritious and healthy recipe that the entire family can enjoy.   Ready in 30 minutes. Happy to share with you my latest side dish. Easy to make, I served it with baked salmon for dinner.  You can try and make it with other vegetables like carrots, cauliflower, peppers or mushrooms. Yum!
