I have to say I have been really enjoying posting the Disney creations here on the blog but realize the photos are a bit lack luster. As the blog continues on I hope to post more and better quality photos with each recipe. I hope you enjoy my take on the Quinoa Salad from Boma at the Animal Kingdom Lodge as much as I have.
In the end the Quinoa Salad dressing was an all star but the rest of the dish was rather lackluster. I do not think it was the ingredients but my lack of knowledge properly blooming quinoa, or it may have been my selection of Royal Red Quinoa versus a more traditional variety. Either way I will be trying to repeat this recipe this week. Also note that 1/16 cup is the same as 1 tablespoon and 1/8 is 2 tablespoons.
