Veggie Almond And Raisin Quinoa Salad Recipes

Steps:

• Cook 3/4 cup quinoa as the label directs; fluff. Transfer to a large bowl; toss with 1 cup each shredded carrots, chopped cucumber and chopped sugar snap peas, 1/2 cup raisins and 1/4 cup each chopped parsley and salted sunflower seeds. Drizzle with olive oil and white balsamic vinegar; season with salt and pepper.

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spread almonds onto a baking sheet.
• Bake almonds in the preheated oven until lightly toasted and fragrant, 5 to 10 minutes.
• Bring vegetable stock and quinoa to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until quinoa is tender and stock has been absorbed, 15 to 20 minutes. Transfer quinoa to a bowl and refrigerate until chilled, about 30 minutes.
