Shop the Co-op!
 The River City Food Co-op is a grocery store, open to the public, offering natural, organic and bulk foods.
A sustainable business considers its impact on the environment and its relationship with its suppliers, customers and employees. In the food industry, this means considering more that just the bottom line. How was this food produced? How was is distributed? Were workers, animals, or the environment mistreated along the way? When you shop at the Co-op, you are supporting the local economy and casting a vote for a better future.

2-- Quinoa with Lemon and Zuchini Salad
2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
1 medium zucchini, halved and thinly sliced
1 1/4 teaspoons fine sea salt, divided
1 1/4 cups quinoa, rinsed for 1 minute under running water
2 1/2 cups water
Zest of 1 lemon
2 tablespoons lemon juice
Lots of chopped fresh dill
Crumbled feta (optional)
Method
Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add zucchini and 1/4 teaspoon salt and cook, stirring, until zucchini is crisp-tender, about 4 minutes. Remove zucchini from the pan and add quinoa, water and remaining 1 teaspoon salt. Bring to a boil, lower heat and simmer, covered, until quinoa is tender but still chewy and a white spiral-like germ appears around each grain, about 15 minutes.
Toss quinoa with zucchini, zest, lemon juice and dill. Serve warm or room temperature, topped with feta cheese if you like.
