Toasted Quinoa Snow Peas Tomatoes And Mozzarella Salad Recipes

Steps:

• Prepare 1 cup quinoa as the label directs. Stir to cool slightly. Toss with 1 cup halved grape tomatoes, one 15-ounce can hearts of palm (drained, rinsed and sliced), 2 chopped scallions, 2 tablespoons olive oil and a pinch of sugar; season with salt. Sprinkle with chopped parsley.

Steps:

• 1. Cook the quinoa in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, stirring or shaking the pan occasionally, until it is lightly dried out and toasted, about 15 minutes. It will make slight popping sounds as it approaches being done. To best ascertain doneness, scoop out a teaspoon, cool it slightly, and taste it. Touching it directly in the pan will not be a sure test, as the quinoa will be releasing steam.
• 2. Remove the skillet from the heat. Season the quinoa to taste and serve as a side or proceed with a recipe.

Steps:

• In a large bowl whisk together the vinegar, the water, the salt, the sugar, the tarragon, the garlic paste, and pepper to taste, add the oil in a stream, whisking, and whisk the dressing until it is emulsified. In a kettle of salted boiling water cook the pasta until it is tender, in a colander rinse it well, and drain it. In the bowl toss the pasta with the dressing, add the peas, the tomatoes, and the basil, and toss the salad well.

Steps:

• Rinse quinoa and drain (as you would with rice). Place in small saucepan with 1½-2 cups of water.
• Bring to the boil, cover, reduce heat to low and simmer (12-15 minutes) until tender and all water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let stand for 10 minutes. Fluff with a fork and let cool.
• Mix carrot, capsicum, parsley, coriander and Spanish onion in large bowl. Add cold quinoa and toss to combine. Whisk together citrus juice, tamari, ginger, garlic and chili. Pour over salad and combine well.

Steps:

• Heat a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add quinoa to pan; cook 5 minutes or until toasted, stirring frequently. Add 3 cups water to pan; bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat, and cook 15 minutes or until tender. Fluff with a fork; cool. Place quinoa in a large bowl. Add peas and next 6 ingredients. Combine rind and remaining ingredients ina small bowl, stirring with a whisk. Add juice mixture to quinoa mixture; toss gently to coat.
