How to Cook Perfect Quinoa – One Serving

Here is THEE recipe for cooking one serving of perfect fluffy quinoa that you can use as a protein-packed and nutritious base for your quinoa salads and quinoa bowls.

I previously published my “How to Cook Perfect and Fluffy Quinoa” recipe here on my blog and in that recipe I gave instructions for cooking 3 cups of quinoa, which is a lot. Three cups of cooked quinoa is enough to feed a family for lunch and dinner.

So, that prompted me to write up a single serving recipe for how to cook perfect quinoa. Here it is.

Lately, I have been cooking one serving of quinoa for Quinoa Salads and Quinoa Bowls that I have been making lately. Yes, I have been in a Quinoa craze lately.

Therefore, I thought I would share with you a one-serving recipe for Quinoa that you can use as a base for your quinoa salads, and quinoa bowls, or as the main grain for lunch or dinner.
