Zesty Confetti Salad With Quinoa image

Provided by MN_SpiceHunter

Categories     Grains

Time 55m

Yield 5-7 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 17

1/2 cup quinoa
1 1/2 cups broccoli, chopped
1 cup carrot, chopped or shredded
1 cup red cabbage, shredded
1 1/2 cups jicama, chopped
1 large red bell pepper, chopped
3/4 cup scallion, sliced thin
1 cup cauliflower, chopped
1 tablespoon black sesame seed
1/2 cup pepitas (raw shelled pumpkin seeds)
1 cup fresh cilantro
3 tablespoons lime juice
5 tablespoons orange juice concentrate
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon cumin
1/4 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Rinse quinoa well. Combine with 3/4 cup water in small saucepan. Bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat and simmer 15-20 minutes or until water is absorbed and holes have formed in surface of quinoa. Remove from heat and cool to room temperature or cooler.
  • Dry toast pepitas by putting them in a large skillet or frying pan and shaking over high heat until they begin to pop and "dance". Remove from heat.
  • In food processor, combine pepitas, cilantro, lime juice, orange juice concentrate, olive oil, chili powder, cumin and salt. Blitz until a rough paste forms. (It looks a little funny at this stage--don't worry!).
  • In a very large bowl, combine veggies, quinoa and sesame seeds and toss. Add citrus-pepita dressing and mix well to coat. Chill at least one hour; overnight is ideal.
