Mint Quinoa

Adapted from the package of Eden Organic Quinoa Whole Grain --
It was meant to have a cup of cauliflower florets and very little carrots.  Since cauliflower is not my favorite veggie, I just used a whole cup of carrots -- probably can even use more.
This recipe gives a smooth but interesting taste.

Ingredients:

1 cup quinoa, rinsed
1 1/4 cups boiling water and/or low sodium vegetable broth
1 Tbsp plum vinegar, or to taste (I used raspberry vinegar, but need to find something sweeter)
2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
15 0z can garbanzo beans, drained
1/2 cup lightly toasted pine nuts
1/3 cup chopped scallions
1/4 cup chopped fresh mint
1 cup diced carrots, blanched 1 minute
1/2 tsp salt, to taste
1/8 tsp pepper, to taste

Directions:

Cook quinoa according to package directions.  Toss with all remaining ingredients and
serve.

Can't be easier than that!
