Steps:
- Bring a pot of water to boil. Meanwhile, place Quinoa (1 cup) in a sieve and rinse under cold water. When water boils, add quinoa and simmer for 9 minutes. Drain in an fine-mesh sieve and run under cold water until cool. Set aside to dry.
- Prepare the remaining ingredients: Slice the Sugar Snap Peas (1 cup) on a bias and set aside. Roughly chop the Cashew Nuts (1/2 cup). Slice the Scallion (5) thinly. Remove the seeds from the Serrano Chili (2), then finely dice.
- Peel the Mango (2) and slice down and around the pit, then dice the flesh. Grate the Fresh Ginger (1 inch) on a box grater or finely dice with a knife. You need about a tablespoon of minced ginger flesh/juice.
- Place the quinoa into a large bowl. Season with Kosher Salt (to taste) and Ground Black Pepper (to taste). Add peas, cashews, scallions, serrano chili, ginger, Extra-Virgin Olive Oil (1/3 cup), and juice of the Lime (2). Toss and taste. Adjust seasoning as necessary.
- Let salad marinate in the fridge for an hour (if you have the time). Fold in the mango just before serving.

QUINOA SALAD WITH LIME GINGER DRESSING AND SHRIMP
This salad has a ginger lime dressing, scallions, cilantro and a bit of heat. Can be served as a side dish or a light meal. Cooked quinoa will keep for 3 or 4 days in the refrigerator. You can make the dressing and prepare the ingredients for the salad a few hours ahead. Quinoa (pronounced keen-wah) is not a grain; it is actually a seed and related to the spinach family. When cooked, quinoa is light, fluffy, slightly crunchy and subtly flavored. It actually cooks and tastes like a grain, making it an excellent replacement for grains that are difficult to digest. Compared to other grains, quinoa is higher in calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, potassium, iron, copper, manganese, and zinc than wheat, barley, or corn. Published in the New York Times, Nov. 8, 2008.
