Ingredients
FOR EDAMAME QUINOA SALAD
- 1 cup quinoa
- water for cooking quinoa, enough to fill a saucepan 3/4 way
- 1 cup edamame
- ½ cup radish thinly sliced
- 4 scallions thinly sliced
- ⅓ cup parsley chopped
- 2 tablespoons mint chopped
- ¼ cup red onion thinly sliced
FOR CITRUS VINAIGRETTE:
- 1 lemon zested and juiced
- 1 large garlic minced, clove
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar or white wine vinegar
- ¼ cup olive oil
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Place the quinoa in a fine mesh strainer and rinse under running tap water. Fill a medium saucepan about ¾ full with water. Bring to a boil and stir in the quinoa. Cook for 12 minutes or until quinoa is tender (Germ spirals should just be coming away from the seed).
- Drain the quinoa in a fine mesh strainer, then transfer back to the same pot you cooked it in and cover tightly with a lid off of the heat. Let the quinoa steam for about 10 minutes.
- Fluff with a fork and let the cooked grains cool to room temperature before assembling the salad. To speed up this process, pour the quinoa onto a sheet pan and spread into an even layer. Excess moisture will evaporate and the quinoa will cool and dry in about 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, prepare the vegetables, slicing the onions, scallions, radish, parsley and mint and transferring them to a large bowl.
- In a small bowl or glass measuring cup, add the lemon juice, zest, garlic, dijon mustard vinegar, salt and pepper. Whisk in the olive oil in a steady stream until emulsified.
- When quinoa is cool, fluff the quinoa with a fork and add it to the vegetables and gently toss together.
- Add the vinaigrette and toss to combine. Can be made ahead and served chilled or at room temperature.
