Quinoa is great! I don't like the taste as much so I have to add to it. Same as you, I love it with Lemon juice...so good! I use it to replace rice in stuffed bell peppers and even made a salad with it that reminded me of pasta salad:
1 cup uncooked quinoa
1 Tbsp olive oil
1 3/4 cup Water
1/4 cup lemon juice (approx. 1 medium sized lemon)
1 orange or red bell pepper, diced
1 cucumber, diced
1/2 cup diced tomato
1/4 cup kalmata olives, chopped
2 sticks of mozzarella, chopped into pieces
Directions:
In a small pot on medium heat, bring the quinoa, water and lemon juice to a boil. Turn the heat to low and simmer for 15 minutes or until the water is absorbed. When its done, place in a large bowl. Add in the rest of the ingredients and mixed together. If you'd like to serve it cold, place in the fridge until cooled.
