Packed with herbs, creamy coconut, and a burst of acidity from the lime, this quinoa is a total flavor explosion! The healthy fat from the coconut also make this a satisfying side dish or addition to any salad. However you prefer to eat this, I hope you enjoy it as much as we do!

Cook Mode

Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results

Cook quinoa according to package instructions, but use coconut milk and broth in place of water.
In the meantime, finely chop green onions, mint, basil, and cilantro, and add all to a medium-sized bowl.
Add shredded coconut to the bowl with the herbs and toss to combine.
When quinoa is finished cooking and still warm, add to the bowl with the herbs/coconut.
Add salt and lime juice, then mix until everything is well incorporated.
Top with chopped peanuts if desired, and serve warm or cold!

Notes

This will keep for 5-7 days in the refrigerator. I do not recommend freezing!
