Quinoa Salad With Eggs Dill Recipes

Steps:

• Boil the quinoa in plenty of water for 20 mins. Leave for 5 mins, then rinse and drain well. Meanwhile, boil the eggs for 7 mins in another pan with the asparagus above in a steamer. If the eggs are ready and the asparagus isn't quite tender, remove the eggs from the pan and put in cold water while continuing to cook the asparagus for a few more minutes. Peel the eggs.
• To make the dressing, mix the extra virgin olive oil and apple cider vinegar with the chopped spring onions, herbs and capers.
• Tip the quinoa into a bowl and toss through three-quarters of the dressing and the tomatoes. Spoon half onto plates and the rest into two containers. Arrange the asparagus on top of the salads with three egg halves on each one, then spoon over the remaining dressing and scatter with the basil leaves. Seal and chill the packed salads. Will keep in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a day.

Steps:

• Cook the quinoa. Rinse quinoa under cold water and drain. Place in a small pot on the stove and add 3/4 cup water. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer and cover. Cook about 15 minutes, just until tender and translucent, with the white tail removed from the seed. Remove from heat and pour into a large bowl. Stir and spread a bit to let cool some (but it does not need to cool completely).
• Add the chickpeas, scallions, and dill. Stir gently to combine.
• In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, and 1/2 teaspoon salt until combined. Pour over the quinoa mixture. Stir to combine.
• Taste and add more salt if desired. Flavors will develop more after the salad chills.
• Cover and refrigerate until it's time to eat. Best flavor is achieved after about 24 hours but it's still delicious right after mixing! Keeps about 4 days in the fridge.

Steps:

• Cut hard-boiled eggs in half, removing egg yolks from egg whites.
• Combine egg yolks, mayonnaise, cream cheese, parsley, chives, dill, mustard, paprika, and salt in a food processor. Blend until creamy and mixed well together, adding more mayonnaise if consistency is too thick.
• Coarsely chop egg whites and place in a medium bowl, add egg-herb mixture, and mix with a spoon.

Steps:

• Put the quinoa in a small pan with 250ml water and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover and gently simmer for 15-20 mins, stirring occasionally until most of the water has been absorbed and the grains have doubled in size (if there's any water left in the pan, drain well).
• Tip into a bowl and stir through the beans, spices, lime zest and juice and vinegar. Stir well, then add the tomatoes, avocado, coriander and onion, and spoon onto plates.
• Heat a drop of oil in a non-stick frying pan and fry the eggs until the whites are set with a crispy edge and the yolk is runny. Serve the quinoa topped with the eggs.
