If you are looking for a super simple, healthy and delicious side dish, I have one for you! These quinoa patties are full of flavor and nutrients. We love them and pair them with all kinds of main dishes....fish, grilled chicken, etc. I really like to make them with steamed broccoli because I always have some in our fridge, but you could also use cauliflower or carrot cut into a small dice. I steam the veggies until they are tender-crisp so that there is still some crunch and texture. Here is what you'll need to makes these....
