Directions
|
1. Cook quinoa according to directions. While quinoa is still hot, stir in edamame and roasted red peppers. Put cover back on pot and allow to sit.
2. Meanwhile, whisk together the lime juice, cumin, and garlic. Keep whisking and slowly drizzle in the olive oil, whisking until slightly thickened and smooth.
3. Dump quinoa mixture into bowl and drizzle dressing over, tossing to combine. Toss in the cilantro.
4. Lay out the Romaine lettuce leaves on a work surface. Spoon quinoa mixture into center of each leaf until mixture is used up evenly distributed between leaves.
5. Gently roll up the lettuce leaves over the mixture, lengthwise, as tightly as you can without breaking the leaves.
6. Wrap up each 'wrap' in parchment paper to take along if you need a meal on the go.

Story
|
This is sort of a "Salad On The Go" for those who want a nutritious lunch but also something easy to eat at a picnic, or the beach, or just to take along when picking up the kids after music lessons.
You can choose smaller Romaine leaves and make more wraps. This makes it even easier to take on the go. Eat just like you would a burrito, wrap, or spring roll.
And you can't beat the nutrition! Quinoa and edamame are loaded with protein along with lots of vitamin and minerals.
