Helpful Tips and Variations
If you’re new to cooking quinoa, make sure to rinse it thoroughly to remove any bitterness. To make this recipe even quicker, cook a larger batch of quinoa in advance and store it in the fridge. For added crunch, sprinkle some chopped nuts or seeds on top. For a dairy-free version, replace Greek yogurt with your favorite plant-based yogurt.
Storage Instructions
