So I figure I'd go with a savory recipe today and stock up on ingredients before attempting another baked good.
Quinoa nori(seaweed) wrap! I actually got the idea from Cassey Ho's Instagram, Blogilates. Cassey is a super energetic and fun Pilates trainer whom I've been following for quite some time now. Her workout videos on Youtube are INTENSE but AMAZING and she was and still is my inspiration to lead a healthier lifestyle =) Thank you Cassey!
On my Trader Joe's run last night I also bought a pack of red quinoa. MAJOR super food packed with proteins and it's healthier than brown rice! I often find quinoa in salad recipes but substituting it for sushi rice worked out pretty well too :) It tastes amazing with creamy avocados that even my older sister, who rarely eats anything healthy, enjoys it (but she added mayonnaise, of course).
Assembled!
It tasted somewhat like a California Roll, probably because of the avocados. I attempted using scissors to cut my wrap into bite size pieces but the nori became too soggy so it didn't cut well. My quinoa spilled too :( But if you DO want to cut it into sushi roll pieces I suggest you assemble your wrap as quickly as you can and cut it while the nori is still firm. I ate mine like a burrito, but hopefully your pieces turn out better than mine did if you do decide to cut them :)
