Time 22m

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 cups quinoa (cooked white)
1 cup grapes (sliced in half - optional)
1 whole apricot (medium pit removed and chopped)
2 whole mangoes (peeled and diced - optional)
1/2 cup strawberries (or cherries sliced -optional)
1/2 cup blueberries (optional)
4 tbsp orange juice
4 tbsp lime juice (or lemon juice)
2 tsp lime zest (or lemon zest)
1.5 tbsp honey ( or to taste (can exchange with sugar alternative or maple syrup as needed ))
2 tbsp mint (fresh roughly chopped (optional))

Steps:

  • To make 2 cups of cooked quinoa, measure out 2/3 cup of dry quinoa. Wash very well until water runs clear in a fine mesh colander.This removes the bitter taste from quinoa seed. This natural coating of a substance is called saponin. Saponin has a bitter flavor which discourages birds from eating it so wash well. To cook the quinoa, you will use a 2:1 ratio of liquid to quinoa, or 1 and 1/3 cups of water for 2/3 cup of dry quinoa.
  • Cook quinoa per label directions, which is generally bringup to a boil and then simmer for about 10-15 minutes with a lid or until allthe water is absorbed and the quinoa is light and fluffy. Set aside with lid onfor 5 minutes and then fluff with a fork. If you are cooking a large amount ofquinoa it can take up to 2 minutes to cook. Quinoa is done cooking when thetiny spiral (the germ) separates and curls around the seed. You can cook your quinoa the day before and store inrefrigerator or make the day of and cool in the freezer to assist with coolingprocess.
  • In a small bowl mix together your lime (or lemon juice), orange juice, zest of lemon (or lime) and honey until honey is incorporatedChop up your grapes, mangoes, pineapple, apricots, cherries and add your washed blueberries to your cooked and cooled quinoa.
  • Add your citrus honey dressing to the quinoa and fresh fruit mixture, add chopped mint and mix well. Serve and enjoy.

Quinoa Salad with Dried Fruit and Nuts image

This is an unusual and tasty high-protein grain salad. Quinoa is a grain that has almost no flavor, but the spices add zest. It's well worth trying, I make it often since discovering quinoa at my health food store.
