QUINOA SALAD WITH APRICOTS, BASIL AND PISTACHIOS



Quinoa Salad with Apricots, Basil and Pistachios image

This easy-to-make salad is packed with fiber (thanks to the quinoa) and flavor-we love the combination of sweet, tangy and peppery. The soft and creamy goat cheese is the perfect topping.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 2h55m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup quinoa, rinsed and strained
2 1/2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
12 dried apricots, finely diced, or 1/2 cup packed golden seedless raisins
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
5 cups packed baby arugula (about 5 ounces)
1/4 cup thinly sliced fresh basil
Juice of 1 large lemon (about 1/4 cup)
1/2 cup shelled lightly salted pistachios
3 ounces soft goat cheese, crumbled

Steps:

  • Bring 2 cups water to a boil in a small saucepan over high heat. Stir in the quinoa. Cover, reduce the heat to low and cook until the liquid is just absorbed and the quinoa is moist and nearly tender, about 15 minutes.
  • Transfer the quinoa to a large bowl and immediately stir in the oil, apricots, 1 1/4 teaspoons salt and 3/4 teaspoon pepper. Set aside to cool slightly, about 20 minutes, stirring a couple times. Refrigerate until chilled, at least 2 hours.
  • When the quinoa is cool and ready to serve, stir in the arugula, basil, lemon juice and pistachios. Add salt and pepper to taste. Sprinkle with the goat cheese and serve.

SPINACH AND QUINOA SALAD WITH DRIED APRICOTS



Spinach and Quinoa Salad with Dried Apricots image

This salad is so, so, SO pretty, and a cool example of how quinoa can play a supporting role in a salad. The play of leafy greens against the quinoa, punctuated by the tart chewiness of the dried apricots, the bite of the onion and the tanginess of the dressing, makes for a very exciting salad.
