Quinoa Corn And Edamame Salad Recipes

Steps:

• Cook 1/2 cup red quinoa as the label directs. Put 3 shucked ears of corn in a bowl with a few tablespoons of water; loosely cover and microwave until tender, about 3 minutes. Cool, then cut off the kernels. Toss the quinoa and corn with 1 chopped large heirloom tomato, 2 sliced scallions, 3 tablespoons each olive oil and lime juice, 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt and a pinch of cayenne.

Steps:

• Combine olive oil, vinegar, maple syrup, sesame oil, liquid amino, lemon juice, garlic, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper in a mason jar. Seal the lid and shake dressing until fully blended.
• Place cooked quinoa, edamame, bell pepper, cucumber, carrot, green onion, cranberries in a large mixing bowl. Add 1/2 cup of the dressing and mix until well combined; save any remaining dressing for another use. Place in the refrigerator until chilled, at least 1 hour.
• Garnished with slivered almonds to serve.

Steps:

• Mix tomatoes, edamame, corn, green onions, lime juice, olive oil, cilantro, and garlic together in a bowl. Season with sea salt.
• Cover bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate until flavors blend, at least 1 hour.

Steps:

• Toast uncooked quinoa in a medium skillet for 5 minutes. Transfer quinoa to a large pot, add vegetable broth and bring to a boil. Cover and reduce heat, and cook for 15 minutes or until the water is absorbed and the quinoa is fluffy. Remove from heat and empty into a serving bowl.
• Add chopped peppers, tomato, sliced zucchini and thawed edamame. Stir well.
• Whisk lemon zest, lemon juice and olive oil together and pour over quinoa mixture. Toss well. Sprinkle with parsley.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 450 degrees. In a bowl, toss corn kernels and garlic cloves with the tablespoon of oil, chile powder, cumin and 2 teaspoons of salt. Spread in a sheet pan and roast 10 to 12 minutes, until fragrant and golden. Set aside to cool.
• In a pot of salted boiling water, cook the beans just until crisp-tender. Drain and set aside to cool.
• Make the dressing: Squeeze the roasted garlic flesh out of the papery skins into a blender. Add the honey, lime juice and zest, 1/2 cup oil, the cilantro roots and leaves, and salt and pepper. Blend until smooth. Taste and add more oil if the dressing is too tart.
• In a serving bowl, combine the corn, beans, bell peppers, jicama or cucumbers, scallions and cheese. Pour most of the dressing over this and toss well. Taste and add more dressing, and salt and pepper to taste. Sprinkle 1/4 cup cilantro leaves on top and serve.
