Provided by Sara Buenfeld

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 10

120g quinoa, rinsed
6 eggs
320g asparagus, woody ends trimmed and halved if too long
4 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
2 tsp apple cider vinegar
6 spring onions, finely chopped
2 tbsp chopped dill
2 tbsp chopped basil, plus a few leaves to serve
15g capers, rinsed
320g cherry tomatoes, halved

Steps:

  • Boil the quinoa in plenty of water for 20 mins. Leave for 5 mins, then rinse and drain well. Meanwhile, boil the eggs for 7 mins in another pan with the asparagus above in a steamer. If the eggs are ready and the asparagus isn't quite tender, remove the eggs from the pan and put in cold water while continuing to cook the asparagus for a few more minutes. Peel the eggs.
  • To make the dressing, mix the extra virgin olive oil and apple cider vinegar with the chopped spring onions, herbs and capers.
  • Tip the quinoa into a bowl and toss through three-quarters of the dressing and the tomatoes. Spoon half onto plates and the rest into two containers. Arrange the asparagus on top of the salads with three egg halves on each one, then spoon over the remaining dressing and scatter with the basil leaves. Seal and chill the packed salads. Will keep in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a day.

ENDIVE AND QUINOA SALAD WITH POACHED EGG



Endive and Quinoa Salad With Poached Egg image

If you hesitate to buy salad greens that could wilt before you have a chance to use them, endive is a perfect solution. The tight bulbs will keep in your crisper for about a week without deteriorating. Make the dressing and keep what you don't use in the refrigerator. It will keep until you use it up.

Time 30m

Yield 1 main-dish serving or 2 side servings or starters

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 tablespoons red wine vinegar, Champagne vinegar or sherry vinegar (sherry vinegar is my preference)
1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar (optional)
Salt, preferably coarse sea salt or fleur de sel, to taste
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
6 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, or 4 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons walnut oil
1 garlic clove, crushed
1/2 cup cooked quinoa
1 1/2 endives, preferably a mix of red and green, cut crosswise into 3/4-inch slices
2 white or cremini mushrooms, thinly sliced
1/4 yellow bell pepper, cut crosswise in thin slices
1 teaspoon chopped fresh herbs, like tarragon and chives
1/4 ounce (1 tablespoon) slivered Parmesan
1 egg, poached

Steps:

  • Make the dressing first so that the garlic, which you'll pull out before tossing the salad, can marinate. In a bowl or a glass measuring cup, whisk together the vinegars, salt, pepper and mustard. Whisk in the oils and add the garlic, which should be crushed so that it infuses the dressing. Let sit for 15 minutes. Remove the garlic, whisk the dressing and measure out 1 1/2 tablespoons. Transfer the remaining dressing to a jar or a squeeze bottle and refrigerate.
  • Combine the quinoa, endives, mushrooms, yellow pepper, herbs and Parmesan in a salad bowl. Add the 1 1/2 tablespoons dressing and toss together.
  • Poach the egg, if you have not done so already. Top the salad with the poached egg and enjoy.

This salad comes together quickly and easily, with only a bit of chopping, a little stirring, and a handful of ingredients. Having this simple salad in my fridge at a moment's notice has been a godsend for me lately!

Provided by Kare for Kitchen Treaty

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/2 cup uncooked quinoa (rinsed with cold water (about 1 1/2 cups cooked))
1 15-ounce can chickpeas (a.k.a. garbanzo beans) (about 1 1/2 cups cooked), drained and rinsed
About 6 scallions (sliced (about 1/2 cup))
1/4 cup chopped fresh dill (1 generous handful)
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (from about 2 medium lemons)
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt + more to taste

Steps:

  • Cook the quinoa. Rinse quinoa under cold water and drain. Place in a small pot on the stove and add 3/4 cup water. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer and cover. Cook about 15 minutes, just until tender and translucent, with the white tail removed from the seed. Remove from heat and pour into a large bowl. Stir and spread a bit to let cool some (but it does not need to cool completely).
  • Add the chickpeas, scallions, and dill. Stir gently to combine.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, and 1/2 teaspoon salt until combined. Pour over the quinoa mixture. Stir to combine.
  • Taste and add more salt if desired. Flavors will develop more after the salad chills.
  • Cover and refrigerate until it's time to eat. Best flavor is achieved after about 24 hours but it's still delicious right after mixing! Keeps about 4 days in the fridge.
