Categories     Salad     Apple     Quinoa     Raw     Simmer     Boil

Yield serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/4 cup raw whole almonds
1 cup white quinoa
1 teaspoon honey
1 tablespoon finely chopped shallot
1 teaspoon curry powder
1/4 teaspoon coarse salt
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
Freshly ground pepper
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons dried currants
1 small McIntosh apple, cut into 1/8-inch-thick wedges
1/4 cup loosely packed fresh mint leaves, coarsely chopped, plus more for garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F. Spread the almonds on a rimmed baking sheet; toast in the oven until lightly toasted and fragrant, about 7 minutes. Let cool; coarsely chop the nuts.
  • Rinse the quinoa thoroughly in a fine sieve; drain. Bring 2 cups water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Add the quinoa; return to a boil. Stir the quinoa, cover, and reduce heat. Simmer until the quinoa is tender but still chewy, about 15 minutes. Fluff the quinoa with a fork; let cool.
  • Whisk together the honey, shallot, curry powder, salt, and lemon juice in a large bowl. Season with pepper. Whisking constantly, pour in the oil in a slow, steady stream; whisk until the dressing is emulsified. Add the quinoa, currants, apple, mint, and nuts; toss well. Garnish with mint.

This salad was a bit bland for my taste. I think it could have used more salt and pepper.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my salad didn't turn out as flavorful as I expected. Maybe I didn't use the right type of apples.

This salad was a bit too spicy for my taste. I think next time I'll use less curry powder in the dressing.
