This is one of my favorite salads, and the ginger dressing is soooo good! You can save extras (or make more!) to use as a dip for breaded chicken or fish.
Directions
Roast the Peppers and Mushrooms
1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit. Lay peppers and mushrooms on a baking tray, sprinkle with salt, and roast for 15 minutes.
Prepare the Quinoa
1. Meanwhile, in a small pot, combine the quinoa with water. Bring to a boil, cover, and simmer about 15 minutes, or until water evaporates.
Prepare the Dressing
1. To prepare dressing, in a food processor, combine all ingredients. Blend until smooth.
To Serve
1. Place lettuce in a large bowl. Top with roasted peppers and mushrooms, cooked quinoa, and sliced red onion. Drizzle with the dressing, toss, and sprinkle on pecans.
