Рецепт Green Quinoa Salad with Peas and Avocado
After a week of Indian dishes, here's a healthy Quinoa salad with peas, avocado and lots of herbs. I like to make this kind of simple dishes when I'm cooking for myself -- everything goes into 1 bowl, mix and eat -- that's it, no fuss, no mess.
This recipe is from Vegetarian Times magazine and I made it as soon as I saw the recipe. It is definitely going to be in rotation in my home going forward.
Ingredients: Serves 4
- Quinoa - 1cup, rinsed and drained
- Peas - 1cup (fresh or thawed frozen)
- Avocado - 1, finely diced
- Green Onions - 4, thinly sliced
- Fresh Parsley - ½cup, chopped
- Cilantro - ¼cup, chopped
- Olive oil - 3tbsp
- Lime juice - 1tbsp+1tsp
- Lime zest - 1tsp
- Garlic - 2cloves, finely minced
- Maple syrup - 2tsp
- Ground Coriander - 1tsp
- Salt & Pepper - to taste
Method:
Bring quinoa and 1¾cups of water to boil. Lower the flame and cook quinoa until tender and small 'tails' appear. Let cool.
Whisk together oil, lime juice, lime zest, maple syrup, garlic and coriander in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper.
Stir in the cooked quinoa, peas, avocado, green onions, parsley and cilantro. Serve in lettuce cups or as is.
