Whenever I’m at a salad bar I’m always putting quinoa in my salad like so many other people out there so why don’t we ever think to create a salad for Shabbos with quinoa inside? Try this amazing combo: sweet fruits nutty quinoa and crisp greens. Can’t go wrong.
INGREDIENTS
Serves 6
- 1 cup water
- ½ cup raw quinoa
- ½ red onion diced finely
- seeds of ½ a pomegranate
- 1 can mandarin oranges or 2 clementines separated into segments
- 1 head romaine lettuce shredded
Dressing
- 1/3 cup olive oil
- 1 Tbsp balsamic vinegar
- ½ Tbsp brown sugar
- ¼ tsp garlic powder
- ¼ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp pepper
- juice of 1 lime (around 2 Tbsp)
PREPARATION
Bring water to a boil in a small saucepan. Add the quinoa return to a boil and lower to a simmer for 12 minutes. Fluff with a fork and allow to cool.
Combine dressing ingredients. In a large salad bowl arrange salad with lettuce on the bottom then the quinoa and top with the fruits and a drizzle of dressing. Alternatively you can toss the salad together for equally tasty results.
comment: Try this quinoa salad on its own. It’s incredible! Thank you Esty (and Faigy of course) my Canadian food buddy!!
