I'm not usually given to taking pictures of my dinner before I eat it, but this was such a beautiful plate that it cried out for documentation: pork chop (grilled with a sort of teriyaki marinade), asparagus (with lemon and butter) and a salad of quinoa, beets and grapefruit.
If I may say so myself, the salad was excellent. I cooked up a half a cup of quinoa, let it cool, and added diced cooked beets, snipped chives, and the flesh of a grapefruit. It's a pain in the ass to segment the grapefruit, but it's worth it. Do it over a bowl so you save all the juice, then use the juice and some olive oil (and salt and pepper) to dress the salad. I liked it so much, I made it twice last week.

and where was my invitation to dinner? huh? huh?
(looks divine.)
Well, I'm hungry now. Thanks a lot.
You know what I love about you? When you say 'a salad of quinoa, beets and grapefruit' and I think 'EEEK I need that recipe' you then immediately provide the recipe. It's a lovable quality.
Ooh, that sounds delicious.
I am sooo going to try that!
Yum!
The quinoa salad sounds really good. I would not have thought of beets together with grapefruit, but I love both those foods. I'm going to try this. Did you roast the beets?
purty
I've been wondering what to do with my quinoa. Do you have any other recommended quinoa recipes?
That quinoa salad looks YUMMMMMMM.
Looks awesome...but I am such a ridiculously picky eater I probably wouldn't eat it. It is a shame how picky I am and it is only made worse by how reluctant I am to try new/different things. Sigh.
God, I wish I could cook. that does look amazing.
I'm intriqued by the combo of grapefruit and beet!
I'm making that quinoa! Sounds and looks amazing!
