Recipe Directions
Sprout quinoa, being sure not to rinse immediately prior to making the salad (or else it gets too wet). add remainder of ingredients and mix well. i find that i get the best mix of flavours when i chiffonade the basil and kale together (roll the leaves into a cigar shape and slice thinly into strips).
Adjust lemon juice, salt and olive oil to taste.
Enjoy!

Quinoa is sooo easy to sprout, you just soak it for a few hours and let it sit for, maybe an hour and boom, they all have little tails.

Does it need to be spread thin in order to sprout? How large a strainer would you need for 1 cup of quinoa?

sorry it took me so long to see this!
it doesn't need to be spread thin at all. i use a strainer that i would use to drain, say a cup of pasta or something....what i usually wash a container of berries in. it's a fairly small strainer but having relatively small holes would be more important because quinoa are little!

I have heard a lot of methods of sprouting grains and seeds but i find this is the easiest and requires the least equipment:
-Soak quinoa in water in a bowl for a few hours to overnight
-Strain in a mesh strainer and rinse thoroughly (this is particularly important for quinoa as it can be bitter otherwise)
-leave quinoa in strainer over the bowl covered in a dry towel for about 24 hours, or until the tails are about 1/2 inch long
-with quinoa, but not as much with other grains, it is important to rinse thoroughly every 8 hours or so to remove the bitter taste
Quinoa is a fast sprouter, usually it's already going when i drain the first time.

This is a dumb question, but i don't really sprout anything at all.. how do you sprout your quinoa? I've been wanting to do this and just haven't had the time to look into it. Thanks!
