QUINOA AND ASPARAGUS SALAD
I had been cooking quinoa sort of like pasta, in 3 parts water, then draining it and letting it dry in a towel-covered pan. This is a good way to obtain very fluffy grains, but sometimes my quinoa is soggy when I cook it this way, even after it rests under the towel. So, I decided to change the grain-to-water ratio and followed the directions on my Alter Eco quinoa packages (Alter Eco imports red, rainbow and pearl quinoas). I cooked the pearl and the red quinoas in 1 1/2 parts water and the rainbow in 2 parts water. The black quinoa in the rainbow mix takes a little longer to soften and requires a little more liquid. The grains were tighter and less moist than quinoa cooked in abundant water, and the yield was not as great because the grains don't swell as much. But I liked the results, especially for salads like this one. For this salad, I cook 1 cup of quinoa in 1 1/2 cups water to get a slightly tighter, drier grain. The dressing is a lemony buttermilk dressing.

Steps:
- Place the quinoa in a strainer and rinse several times with cold water. Place in a medium saucepan with 1 1/2 cups water and salt to taste. Bring to a boil, cover and simmer 15 minutes, until the grains display a threadlike spiral and the water is absorbed. Remove from the heat, remove the lid and place a dish towel over the pan, then return the lid to the pan and let sit for 10 minutes or longer undisturbed. Transfer to a salad bowl and fluff with forks.
- Steam the asparagus for 3 to 4 minutes, until just tender. Rinse with cold water, pat dry and cut on the diagonal into 1-inch pieces. Add to the quinoa, along with the radishes, pine nuts, chives and tarragon.
- Whisk together the lemon juice, garlic, salt, olive oil, buttermilk and pepper. Shortly before serving, toss with the quinoa and asparagus mixture. Sprinkle the feta over the top and serve. If desired, drizzle a teaspoon of the lemon-scented olive oil over each serving.

Steps:
- Heat oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add asparagus and mushrooms, and saute just until tender, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat. Sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds, and season with salt and pepper. Serve hot.
Tips:
- Prep ahead: For quicker weekday meals, cook the quinoa and veggie tenders in advance and store them in separate airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Choose the right asparagus: Look for asparagus spears that are bright green and have tightly closed tips. Avoid spears that are limp or have woody ends.
- Trim the asparagus properly: Snap off the tough ends of the asparagus spears, where they naturally break. This is the easiest way to remove the woody part of the asparagus.
- Cook the asparagus to your liking: Asparagus can be cooked in a variety of ways, including roasting, grilling, steaming, and sautéing. The cooking time will vary depending on the method you choose, but asparagus should be cooked until it is tender-crisp, with a slight bite to it.
- Add flavor to the shiitake mushrooms: Shiitake mushrooms have a mild flavor, so you can easily enhance their taste by sautéing them with garlic, ginger, and soy sauce.
- Choose the right veggie tenders: There are many different brands and varieties of veggie tenders available, so choose ones that you and your family enjoy. You can also make your own veggie tenders using tofu, tempeh, or seitan.
Conclusion:
Quinoa with Asparagus, Shiitake Mushrooms, and Veggie Tenders is a delicious and healthy meal that is perfect for a quick and easy weekday dinner. The quinoa provides a hearty base, while the asparagus, shiitake mushrooms, and veggie tenders add flavor and texture. This dish is also a good source of protein, fiber, and vitamins.
