CURRIED QUINOA SALAD

Quinoa is such a fantastic salad base-it's full of protein, it adds a nutty flavor, and it's the perfect vehicle to soak up any kind of dressing. If you like a little more heat, add more cayenne or curry to the dressing. -Shannon Dobos, Calgary, Alberta

Tips:

  • Choose the right quinoa: For this salad, white or red quinoa works best. Avoid using black quinoa, as it has a stronger flavor that may overpower the other ingredients.
  • Cook the quinoa perfectly: To ensure that the quinoa is cooked properly, follow the instructions on the package. Generally, you will need to rinse the quinoa in a fine-mesh strainer, then cook it in a pot with water or broth in a 1:2 ratio (1 cup quinoa to 2 cups liquid). Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the quinoa is tender and all of the liquid has been absorbed.
  • Use fresh, crisp apples: Granny Smith apples are a good choice for this salad, as they hold their shape well and have a tart flavor that complements the other ingredients. Be sure to wash and core the apples before dicing them.
  • Make the curry dressing ahead of time: The curry dressing can be made up to 3 days in advance. This will allow the flavors to meld and develop. To make the dressing, simply whisk together mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, curry powder, honey, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a small bowl.
  • Assemble the salad just before serving: This will help to prevent the quinoa and apples from becoming soggy. To assemble the salad, simply combine the cooked quinoa, diced apples, chopped celery, dried cranberries, and chopped walnuts in a large bowl. Drizzle with the curry dressing and toss to coat. Serve immediately.

Conclusion:

This quinoa and apple salad with curry dressing is a delicious and healthy dish that is perfect for lunch or dinner. It is packed with flavor and nutrients, and it is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy meal, give this salad a try.
