WARM QUINOA SALAD WITH SHRIMP AND ASPARAGUS



Warm Quinoa Salad With Shrimp and Asparagus image

From wholefoods.com. This is similar to either fried rice or a pilaf, but using quinoa instead of rice. The lemon and garlic is very tasty with the shrimp. To prepare the quinoa, I always wash it very well and then toast it for about 10 minutes on medium heat in a small non-stick pan first. Even though I have made this recipe, I am not 100% sure on the total time it takes to prepare this dish, so consider it an estimated time.

QUINOA SALAD WITH LIME GINGER DRESSING AND SHRIMP



Quinoa Salad With Lime Ginger Dressing and Shrimp image

This salad has a ginger lime dressing, scallions, cilantro and a bit of heat. Can be served as a side dish or a light meal. Cooked quinoa will keep for 3 or 4 days in the refrigerator. You can make the dressing and prepare the ingredients for the salad a few hours ahead. Quinoa (pronounced keen-wah) is not a grain; it is actually a seed and related to the spinach family. When cooked, quinoa is light, fluffy, slightly crunchy and subtly flavored. It actually cooks and tastes like a grain, making it an excellent replacement for grains that are difficult to digest. Compared to other grains, quinoa is higher in calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, potassium, iron, copper, manganese, and zinc than wheat, barley, or corn. Published in the New York Times, Nov. 8, 2008.
