This salad is really easy to throw together. It’s never boring, as you can sub different herbs and fruit. It’s packed with lots of good-for-you nutrients and can be served warm or cold.

Ingredients

Salad

  • 1 cup water

  • 1 cup quinoa, rinsed (I use half red and half white)

  • 1 medium/large Granny Smith apple, peeled and chopped

  • 1 cucumber, scrubbed, cut in half lengthwise and cut crosswise into small pieces

  • 1/2 cup dried mango, chopped

  • 1/4 cup sugar-free dried cranberries

  • 1 stalk celery, chopped

  • 3 and 1/2 ounces (100 grams) Gefen Water Chestnuts, chopped

  • 1 scallion, thinly sliced

  • chopped roasted peanuts (optional), for garnish

Dressing

  • 2 tablespoons Gefen Olive Oil

  • 2 teaspoons chopped lemon zest

  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

  • 1/4 teaspoon ginger

Directions

Prepare the Quinoa Salad

1.

In a small pot, bring water to a boil. Add quinoa and reduce heat.

2.

Simmer covered, 12–15 minutes or until water is absorbed.

3.

Remove from heat. Fluff with a fork. Transfer to a large bowl.

Assemble the Salad

1.

Add all remaining salad ingredients.

2.

Whisk dressing ingredients together in a small bowl. Pour dressing over the salad and toss to coat. If necessary, adjust seasoning to taste.

3.

Garnish with peanuts if desired; they add a nice crunch.

Correct amount? Are the amounts for the water and quinoa correct?
I know you should use about double the water to quinoa, but here is written:
one cup of water and one cup of quinoa
