Instructions
- Wash produce before prepping. Pre-heat grill to medium high. Add quinoa to water and bring to a boil on the stove. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes. Remove from heat and let stand for 5 minutes before fluffing with a fork. Chill rapidly to make filling.
- In a large bowl, combine cooked quinoa with beans, vinegar, salt & pepper, garlic powder, olives, tomatoes, parsley, onion and lemon juice. Mix well.
- Cut zucchini in half lengthwise, gently scrape seeds out of center. Brush each with oil. Sprinkle each half with salt. Place face down on hot grill. Cook each side for about 5-8 minutes total, until zucchini is tender. Should still have a bite to it.
- To finish, fill the center of each grilled zucchini boat with quinoa mixture.
