- When you want to turn a simple salad into a substantial dish, adding quinoa is the answer. Its delicate flavor takes well to leafy greens and light dressings. Toasting the grains in a dry skillet before cooking, adds a rich, nutty flavor.
- In medium saucepan, bring stock to a boil. Add in quinoa and salt if you like.
- Reduce heat to low, cover and cook till quinoa is tender and liquid is absorbed, about 15 min. Remove from heat and set aside to cold.
- Meanwhile, make dressing: In food processor or possibly blender, combine garlic, mustard, lemon juice, mint, goat cheese or possibly tofu and yogurt and process till smooth. With motor running, add in oil in a thin, steady stream till well blended. Season with salt and pepper.
- In large bowl, combine lettuce, tomatoes, cucumber and onions. Add in quinoa and toss to mix. Serve dressing separately.
