Quinoa Salad With Sugar Snap Peas Recipes

QUINOA SALAD

Quinoa, a "new" ingredient that has been around for thousands of years, is a tiny, high-protein grain from South America. It's nicknamed the "wonder grain" because it cooks more quickly than rice, is virtually foolproof, and is lighter and more nutritious than other grains.

Steps:

Bring the water to a boil in a large saucepan. Add the quinoa, stir once, and return to a boil. Cook uncovered, over medium heat for 12 minutes. Strain and rinse well with cold water, shaking the sieve well to remove all moisture.
When dry, transfer the quinoa to a large bowl. Add the cucumbers, onion, tomato, parsley, mint, olive oil, vinegar, lemon juice, salt, and pepper and toss well. Spoon onto endive spears, top with avocado, and serve.

Quinoa Confetti Salad with Sugar Snap Peas & Toasted Pepitas image

Steps:

Cook the quinoa according to package directions. Set aside and allow to cool.
Fill a medium saucepan half full with water and bring to a boil. Add the sugar snap peas and boil for one minute. Using a slotted spoon, transfer peas to a few layers of paper towels to dry and cool. When cool enough to handle, cut into 1-inch long pieces.
Place a medium saute pan over medium heat. Add the pepitas and cook, stirring constantly, until toasted and fragrant, about 5 minutes. Set aside and allow to cool.
Add quinoa, peas, and pepitas to a large bowl along with the carrots, onion, and chives. Toss to combine.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, vinegar, salt, and pepper. Pour dressing over salad and toss again to coat.
Taste and add additional salt and pepper if desired.
To store, cover tightly with plastic wrap or transfer to an airtight container. Refrigerate for up to two days.

Ingredients

1/2 cup dried quinoa (about 1 1/2 cup cooked)
2 cups sugar snap peas
1/2 cup raw pepitas (pumpkin seeds)
1/2 cup grated carrots (about 2 small carrots)
1/4 cup finely diced red onion (about 1/4 small onion)
1/4 cup minced chives
