Ingredients
- 1 cup quinoa
- 2 cups water
- 1 ½ ounces sun-dried tomatoes not packed in oil, sliced (about ½ cup)
- ¼ cup pistachios shelled & chopped
- ¼ cup parsley flat-leaf, chopped
- 1 ½ tablespoons lemon juice fresh
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- ½ teaspoon agave nectar or honey
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
- ⅛ teaspoon black pepper ground
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, combine the quinoa and water. Bring the water to a boil, reduce the heat to low and cover. Cook until all of the water is absorbed, 15 to 20 minutes. Fluff the quinoa with a fork.
- Transfer the cooked quinoa to a large baking sheet and spread it out evenly. Let it cool to room temperature.
- To the quinoa, add the sun-dried tomatoes, pistachios and parsley. Stir to combine.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, salt and pepper.
- Pour the dressing over the quinoa salad and stir to combine. Serve or refrigerate, covered, until ready to serve.
