Meal of the Moment: Quinoa
MEAL OF THE MOMENT: Mexican Quinoa Salad
This meal was submitted by Athlete Marc.
Quinoa is a good alternative to pasta or rice. it’s a complete source of protein, and easy to prepare. This salad is great as either a side or main, and makes for good leftovers.
Ingredients
3 cups quinoa, cooked (= 1 cup dry)
juice of 1 lemon (about 3 Tbsp)
2 Tbsp olive oil
2 Tsp cumin
1 1/2 cups black beans (about a can, rinsed)
1 1/2 cups corn (about 2 cobs, cooked, or use frozen if you need to)
1/2 small red onion, sliced
1 cup cherry tomatoes, quartered
1/4 cup olives, chopped
1/4 cilantro
Prep:
1) Cook the quinoa according to package instructions. This involves boiling it in water, and takes about 15 minutes.
2) Let it cool a bit, then add all the other ingredients. Stir.
3) Serve either at room temperature or chilled. Leftovers will keep about a week if refrigerated.

Why do we ride? Marco Li and I are in Charlotte, NC for the NRC Presbyterian Charlotte Criterium. We arrived late yesterday night and needed to head out for a ride to flush out our legs from the long day in the car. We determined a route that we thought was safe enough to travel and We rode straight into a 24 hour charity ride (http://www.24hoursofbooty.org). The experience was amazing! First, it was in a great neighbourhood community. The residents were out on their front lawns with cheering stations, banners, music, drinks, food, etc. Friends, family, and rider support crews were scattered all the way around the 8 km loop. What an experience. There must have been 1500- 2000 cyclists of all abilities riding for someone who has had, currently has, or had passed away due to cancer. It raised a valuable question in my mind. Why do we ride? What are we riding for? Who will you ride for? Let us not forget the importance of this question. Happy Training. Enjoy the Ride!
