Whenever I’m at a salad bar, I’m always putting quinoa in my salad, like so many other people out there, so why don’t we ever think to create a salad for Shabbos with quinoa inside? Try this amazing combo: sweet fruits, nutty quinoa, and crisp greens. Can’t go wrong.

Ingredients

Quinoa

  • 1 cup water

  • 1/2 cup raw quinoa

Salad

  • 1/2 red onion, diced finely

  • seeds of 1/2 pomegranate

  • 1 cup mandarin oranges, or 2 clementines, separated into segments

  • 1 head Romaine lettuce, shredded

Dressing

Directions

Prepare the Salad

1.

Bring water to a boil in a small saucepan.

2.

Add the quinoa, return to a boil, and lower to a simmer for 12 minutes.

3.

Fluff with a fork and allow to cool.

4.

Combine dressing ingredients.

5.

In a large salad bowl, arrange salad with lettuce on the bottom, then the quinoa, and top with the fruits and a drizzle of dressing.

6.

Alternatively, you can toss the salad together for equally tasty results.

Notes:

Try this quinoa salad on its own. It’s incredible! Thank you, Esty (and Faigy, of course), my Canadian food buddy!!
