I can’t wait to give this recipe a try. One question – should it have 1 cup of dry quinoa or 1 cup of prepared quinoa?
Great question! I’ll edit the recipe to clarify. Use dry quinoa and prepare according to package instructions. I hope you enjoy!
Thanks, Jessica! I wanted to let you know I made this recipe two times so far, and it turned out great! The second time I had to substitute sliced carrots for the snap peas due to availability. Delicious both ways!
