QUINOA, GREEN BEAN AND TOMATO SALAD RECIPE - (4.6/5)
Provided by PKMom
Number Of Ingredients 11
Steps:
- 1 Combine quinoa and 1 1⁄2 cups water in medium pot; bring to a simmer on medium heat. Reduce heat to low, cover and cook until all the liquid is absorbed, 15 to 20 minutes. Set aside. 2 Fill a large bowl with ice water. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil on high heat, add green beans and cook for 4 to 5 minutes, until barely tender. Remove from heat and drain green beans in a colander. Place colander in ice water to preserve the beans' bright green colour and stop them from cooking further. 3 Using a sharp knife, cut tomatoes in half and gently squeeze out and discard seeds. (It's unnecessary to remove skins.) Cut tomatoes in 1⁄2-inch dice. 4 In a large bowl, combine quinoa, green beans, tomatoes, bell peppers, green onions and basil. Season with salt, olive oil and lemon juice, and sprinkle with pecans. Keep refrigerated for up to 2 days. Variation: *oven-dried tomatoes; **grilled pepper.
