QUINOA SALAD WITH APPLES AND ALMONDS image

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup quinoa, rinsed
2 cups water
2 tablespoons honey
1/4 cup lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 cup peeled, diced tart apple, such as Granny Smith
1 cup finely chopped celery
1/3 cup golden raisins
1/3 cup finely chopped parsley
1/2 cup coarsely chopped almonds, toasted
Coarse salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Instructions In a medium-size saucepan, combine the quinoa and water, then bring them to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer, covered, until the quinoa is tender and the water is absorbed, about 15 minutes. Transfer the quinoa to a large bowl, stir, and let it cool completely. In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, lemon juice, and salt. Gradually whisk in the oil until blended. Add the apple, celery, raisins, parsley, and almonds to the quinoa and toss the ingredients well. Add the dressing and toss once more to coat the salad. Season it with salt and pepper to taste.

This salad is pretty good, but I would make a few changes next time. I would use a different type of apple, like a Granny Smith, and I would add some chopped walnuts.

This salad is a good starting point, but it needs some tweaking. I would add more flavor to the dressing and maybe add some other vegetables, like carrots or celery.

This salad is just okay. It's not bad, but it's not great either. I probably wouldn't make it again.

This salad is not worth the effort. It's bland and boring. I would not recommend it.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my salad didn't turn out as well as the pictures. It was a bit too dry.

This salad is a bit too crunchy for my taste. I would chop the almonds and apples into smaller pieces.

I found the quinoa to be a bit bland. I would add some more spices or herbs to the dressing to give it more flavor.

This salad is a bit too sweet for my taste. I would reduce the amount of honey or maple syrup in the dressing.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover apples. I often have a few apples that are starting to go bad, and this salad is a great way to use them up.

I love the versatility of this salad. You can add or subtract ingredients to suit your taste. I often add grilled chicken or shrimp for a protein boost.

This salad is a great way to get your kids to eat their fruits and vegetables. My kids love the sweet apples and cranberries, and they don't even realize they're eating healthy.

I've made this salad several times now, and it's always a hit. My friends and family love it, and it's always the first dish to disappear at potlucks.

This quinoa salad is a delightful blend of flavors and textures. The sweetness of the apples pairs perfectly with the nutty flavor of the almonds, and the quinoa provides a hearty base. I also love the addition of dried cranberries, which add a touch
