This makes a wonderful light lunch or dinner, and is a great way to clear out leftover veggies in the fridge.

• 2 cups dry quinoa
• veggies and greens of choice- I used broccoli, arugula, shredded carrots, diced yellow squash, red onion, and frozen peas
• 2 cloves garlic
• sea salt & pepper
• 2 Tbs flax seeds
• 2 Tbs nutritional yeast
