CURRY QUINOA SALAD RECIPE

Steps:

• Prepare the quinoa first. Place the quinoa in a fine-mesh strainer or colander and rinse well until the water runs clear, about 30 seconds. Let the quinoa drain for a few seconds, then add the rinsed quinoa, salt, curry powder and water to a medium saucepan.
• Bring it to a boil, then cover and reduce to a simmer. Set a timer for 12 minutes. Check at 11 minutes-it will be done once all of the water is absorbed. Be careful not to let it go too long and burn to the pan.
• Once all of the water is absorbed, turn the heat off and fluff it with a fork. 3/4 cup dried quinoa will yield 1.5 cups cooked.
• While the quinoa cooks, whisk all of the dressing ingredients in the bottom of a large mixing bowl big enough to hold the entire salad then prepare the veggies. I find making the dressing and prepping the veggies is about the perfect amount of time to let the quinoa cook.
• Once the quinoa is cooked, add it while it's still warm to the dressing, then add the rest of the ingredients and fold it all together.
• Let it sit at least 30-60 minutes in the refrigerator to cool.
• Will keep in an airtight glass container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.

Stir in the cooked quinoa, red onion, and raisins; season to taste with sea salt. Cover, and chill in the refrigerator several hours until cold.
