QUINOA SALAD WITH DRIED FRUIT AND NUTS



Quinoa Salad with Dried Fruit and Nuts image

This is an unusual and tasty high-protein grain salad. Quinoa is a grain that has almost no flavor, but the spices add zest. It's well worth trying, I make it often since discovering quinoa at my health food store.

QUINOA SALAD



Quinoa Salad image

Quinoa, a "new" ingredient that has been around for thousands of years, is a tiny, high-protein grain from South America. It's nicknamed the "wonder grain" because it cooks more quickly than rice, is virtually foolproof, and is lighter and more nutritious than other grains.

Categories     side-dish

Time 40m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

12 cups water
1 1/2 cups quinoa, rinsed
5 pickling cucumbers, peeled, ends trimmed, and cut into 1/4-inch cubes
1 small red onion, cut into 1/4-inch cubes
1 large tomato, cored, seeded, and diced
1 bunch Italian parsley leaves, chopped
2 bunches mint leaves, chopped
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
1 lemon, juiced
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
3/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
4 heads endive, trimmed and separated into individual spears
1 avocado, peeled, seeded and diced, for garnish

Steps:

  • Bring the water to a boil in a large saucepan. Add the quinoa, stir once, and return to a boil. Cook uncovered, over medium heat for 12 minutes. Strain and rinse well with cold water, shaking the sieve well to remove all moisture.
  • When dry, transfer the quinoa to a large bowl. Add the cucumbers, onion, tomato, parsley, mint, olive oil, vinegar, lemon juice, salt, and pepper and toss well. Spoon onto endive spears, top with avocado, and serve.

ARUGULA SALAD WITH GRILLED APRICOTS AND PISTACHIOS



Arugula Salad With Grilled Apricots and Pistachios image

Pungent arugula contrasts beautifully with fruit of all kinds. Grilling the apricots deepens their flavor and makes them stand out against the arugula even more. You'll be able to make this beautiful salad only during the summer's short apricot season, and even then, you should buy the fruits at the farmers' market so you can sample them to make sure they are juicy and sweet.

Time 15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
Salt and freshly ground pepper
4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 ounces goat cheese or feta, crumbled
