Time 1h

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup water
⅔ cup quinoa
5 carrots, diced
⅓ cup currants
¼ cup chopped fresh mint
¼ cup chopped fresh parsley
¼ cup green onions, chopped
½ cup olive oil
¼ cup lime juice
1 teaspoon agave nectar
½ teaspoon ground cumin
½ teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Bring water and quinoa to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until quinoa is tender and water has been absorbed, about 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let quinoa rest, covered, for 5 minutes. Uncover the saucepan and cool to room temperature.
  • Stir quinoa, carrots, currants, mint, parsley, and green onions together in a bowl.
  • Combine olive oil, lime juice, agave nectar, cumin, and salt in a jar; seal the jar with a lid and shake vigorously until dressing is well-blended. Pour dressing over quinoa mixture and toss to coat. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate until flavors blend, at least 30 minutes.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover vegetables. I usually have a bunch of leftover tomatoes and cucumbers in my fridge, and this salad is a great way to use them up.
