Refreshing, light and tasty quinoa salad
Serves 4; Yields 5 cups
3 Tbs raisins
3 Tbs dried apricots, sliced into thin strips
1 cup organic quinoa
1 large organic lemon (wash well before zesting)
3 Tbs organic olive oil
1/4 tsp ground coriander
1/4 tsp ground cumin
1/4 tsp ground paprika
kosher salt
1 large organic avocado, not too ripe
3 organic green onions thinly sliced
3 Tbs chopped toasted almonds (if you toast them yourself, I think they taste soooo much better)
Make quinoa following directions on package. Cool to room temp.
Grate the zest from the lemon into a small bowl and whisk 2 Tbs of the lemon juice, olive oil, spices and a 1/4 tsp Kosher salt.
In a large bowl, toss the quinoa with the fruit and nuts, then the vinaigrette. Mix well. Carefully cut the avocado and add folding it in carefully.
Season with S&P and enjoy...
Mmmmmmm!
