Quinoa Salad Recipe

Quinoa Salad

Quinoa seeds, which have a very high nutritional value, fiber and protein ratio, have recently become the crown jewel of our diet, vegan and vegetarian tables, especially with their salads. It is also possible to create very different quinoa salads by combining them with fresh greens of your choice, proteins such as eggs, meat or chicken. Bon Appetit!

Ingredients:

For 4 people
🕐 Preparation: 30 min.      🕐 Cooking: 10 min.
For the Salad:
Quinoa 2 Cup
Water (Hot) 3 Qty
Cucumber 1 Qty
Tomato 1 Qty
Parsley 1 Bunch
Salt 1 Tsp (large)
For the Sauce:
Olive Oil 3 Tbsp
Pomegranate Syrup 1 Tsp (large)
Salt 1/2 Tsp
For the Over:
Dried Tomatoes 1 Qty
Tulum Cheese (Or Curd) 1 Half Cup

Instructions:

  1. Wash the quinoa thoroughly by rubbing it under running water with a wire strainer. Add 1 by 1.5 and a half hot water and a pinch of salt and put on fire.
  2. Bring to a boil and put on low heat. Close the lid halfway and cook until the water is gone. Mix one round, close the lid and leave to infuse for 15-20 minutes.
  3. Peel the tomatoes and cucumbers and cut them into small cubes. Separate 2-3 branches from the parsley and finely chop the leaves of the remaining part. In the meantime, soak the dried tomatoes you will use in the service with hot water and keep them aside.
  4. For the sauce, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, pomegranate syrup, salt and spices in a bowl.
  5. Blend all the ingredients and the sauce in a mixing bowl, stretch it and put it in the refrigerator to rest for at least 1 hour.
  6. When you are going to serve, take your salad into bowls. Wash and drain the soaked dried tomatoes and cut them into small cubes and sprinkle them on the salads.
  7. Serve your salads, decorated with crumbled tulum cheese or curd cheese and parsley leaves, cold. Bon Appetit!
