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!!
