Ingredients:
-Dressing: 4 cloves garlic, ¼ cup red wine vinegar, ¼ cup olive oil, ¼ tsp basil, juice of 1 lemon, salt and pepper to taste
-Salad: 4 cups cooked quinoa, 1 cup grated carrots, ½ cup chopped green onions, ½ cup chopped celery, ½ cup chopped mushrooms, ¼ cup sunflower seeds*, ¼ cup slivered almonds*
Directions:
-Combine dressing ingredients and let stand for at least 10 minutes.

*Children can help rinse the quinoa, measure the liquids and veggies and stir the salad. Getting children involved in preparing food has shown to help them be more interested in trying new foods. It is also a great opportunity for learning (math, science, etc) and additional quality time to spend together as a family!
*seeds and nuts can be a choking hazard for young children. Omit or substitute if any food allergies exist.
