Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 14

1.5 cups vegan black beans (or a 15oz can, drained)
1/2 red onion, diced
1.5 cups of grated carrots (about 2 carrots)
1/2 cup pitted green olives, minced
1 14oz can of hearts of palm (sliced)
3-5 oz Arugula* (see make ahead note below)

3 Tbsp of extra virgin olive oil
2 Tbsp of red wine vinegar
1/2 tsp of dried oregano
a pinch of cumin (about 1/8 of a tsp)
1 Tbsp fresh parsley, roughly chopped
salt and black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • In a small mason jar, combine the garlic, the olive oil, the vinegar, the parsley, spices and salt and pepper. Cover and shake vigorously for about 30 seconds. Set aside.

QUINOA, BEET, AND ARUGULA SALAD



Quinoa, Beet, and Arugula Salad image

Quinoa has a light, fluffy texture when cooked, and can be used as an alternative to white rice or couscous in most dishes. The arugula has a rich peppery taste, and has an exceptionally strong flavor for a leafy green which goes well with the slightly nutty flavor of the quinoa.

Categories     Arugula Salad

Time 55m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 cups water
1 cup uncooked quinoa
1 pinch salt
1 (8 ounce) boneless, skinless chicken breast
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
¼ teaspoon ground oregano
¼ teaspoon ground paprika
1 ½ teaspoons olive oil
1 medium lemon, juiced
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon honey
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 (5 ounce) package arugula

Steps:

  • Bring water, quinoa, and a pinch of salt to a boil in a medium saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until quinoa is tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Fluff with a fork and set aside to cool completely.
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a small baking dish with foil.
  • Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Season chicken with salt, pepper, garlic powder, oregano, and paprika. Brush with olive oil and sear in the hot pan until grill marks appear, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer chicken to the prepared baking dish.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until chicken is no longer pink and the juices run clear, about 20 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes. Cut into ½-inch cubes.
  • Combine lemon juice, olive oil, Dijon, and honey in a cup. Season with salt and pepper. Whisk rapidly until dressing is smooth.
  • Combine arugula, quinoa, and chicken in a large mixing bowl. Add dressing and toss to coat.

ARUGULA, LEMON QUINOA SALAD



Arugula, Lemon Quinoa Salad image

A very light side dish, served room temperature or a slight chill with a fresh peppery lemon vinaigrette, peas, scallions, spicy arugula and quinoa. Very simple and easy to put together. It really isn't meant as a main dish, but a great side dish to compliment your main course and very healthy. You could always turn this into a main dish by adding some grilled chicken.

Time 30m

Yield 4-6 Individual servings, 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 1/4 cups quinoa
2 1/4 cups vegetable broth
3 cups baby arugula, rough chopped
1 cup peas (frozen peas work great, and then thawed)
2 scallions, fine diced
1 small onion, fine diced
2 teaspoons minced garlic
1/4 cup fresh parsley, fine chopped
1 lemon, zest of
salt
1/2 cup olive oil
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon minced shallot
1 1/2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper (more if you don't mind a peppery taste. I love it, but adjust to your tastes)

Steps:

  • Quinoa -- Cook according to directions. For most brands it is 1 part to approximately 2 parts liquid. Rinse the quinoa very well before you cook it - Important Step! Then bring the liquid to a boil (I prefer to use a broth to add even more flavor), reduce, and simmer for about 15 minutes. Just check your package for complete directions. Once done, just set to the side to cool.
  • Salad Ingredients -- In your serving bowl, add the arugula, onion, scallions, garlic, peas, parsley and lemon zest. Toss well.
  • Vinaigrette -- I like to make my vinaigrettes in a small tupperware container so I can just shake it and it is ready to go. Besides, if you don't use all your dressing, just put the lid back on and it will keep in the refrigerator for future use. But you can also mix this up in any small bowl or measuring cup. Just mix up the olive oil, lemon juice, shallot, mustard, sugar and pepper.
  • Finish -- Simply add the cooled or room temp quinoa to the salad vegetables and toss. Add a little vinaigrette at a time and mix. Add as much vinaigrette as you want. Check for seasoning and add any additional salt and pepper if needed.
  • Serve -- ENJOY this lighter salad.
