Time 2h30m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 cup quinoa
1 cup low-sodium vegetable broth
1 cup water
¼ cup fresh orange juice
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
2 teaspoons honey
1 tablespoon curry powder
2 tablespoons minced red onion
½ cup raisins
sea salt to taste
½ cup toasted sliced almonds

Steps:

  • Bring the quinoa, vegetable broth, and water to a boil in a saucepan over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the quinoa is tender, and the water has been absorbed, about 15 to 20 minutes.
  • While the quinoa is cooking, prepare the dressing by whisking together the orange juice, lemon juice, olive oil, mustard, honey, and curry powder in a mixing bowl. Stir in the cooked quinoa, red onion, and raisins; season to taste with sea salt. Cover, and chill in the refrigerator several hours until cold.
  • Stir in half of the toasted almonds immediately before serving. Sprinkle the remaining almonds over top to serve.

I'm not a huge fan of raisins, so I omitted them from the recipe. It was still delicious.

This was super easy to make and turned out delicious. I used a pre-made curry paste to save time, and it still tasted great.

This recipe was a hit with my family! The flavors of the curry, citrus, and raisins were perfectly balanced, and the toasted almonds added a nice crunch. I'll definitely be making this again.
