Quinoa has become a pantry staple for many people, myself included, and one of my favorite ways to enjoy it is in a quinoa salad recipe full of vegetables and herbs. Pronounced KEEN-wah<\/em>, quinoa<\/a> is a pretty fascinating ingredient. It’s not a grain but a nutrient-dense seed that’s been around for thousands of years (it was a staple ingredient for the Incas!). You can serve it chilled or warm, like brown or wild rice<\/a>, and because it cooks quickly, it’s a fantastic make-ahead or meal-prep ingredient.<\/p>\n There are endless quinoa salad recipes<\/a>, but sticking to quinoa mixed with a bright lemon-based vinaigrette and a handful of crisp vegetables like cucumber, cherry tomatoes and bell pepper is a winning and versatile combination. Our quinoa salad recipe makes a fantastic potluck dish, especially when you have vegans and vegetarians in the crowd.<\/p>\n In a large saucepan over medium-high heat, cook and stir the quinoa until toasted, three to five minutes. Add the water and bring it to a boil. Reduce the heat.<\/p>\n Simmer the quinoa, covered, until the liquid is fully absorbed and the quinoa is tender, 12 to 15 minutes. Remove it to a large bowl and let it cool slightly.<\/p>\n In a small bowl, whisk the olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, garlic, parsley, mint and salt.<\/p>\n Editor’s Tip:<\/em> If the dressing separates as it sits, whisk it back together before adding it to the quinoa salad.<\/p>\n Add the vegetables to the quinoa, and drizzle the mix with the dressing.<\/p>\n Toss everything together to combine. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.<\/p>\n Editor’s Tip:<\/em> Serve the quinoa salad at room temperature. Or, refrigerate it and let the flavors meld for 30 minutes or up to 24 hours.<\/p>\n Store the quinoa salad in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Before serving, taste the salad and consider adding a pinch of salt or a sprinkle of fresh parsley or mint to perk up the flavors. As the quinoa salad sits, the flavor balance will shift and the punch of the herbs will soften.<\/p>\n This quinoa salad recipe will last three to four days in the refrigerator before the fresh vegetables become soft and watery.<\/p>\n Though many companies now sell prerinsed quinoa, quickly rinsing it yourself ensures a mild, nutty result over quinoa’s natural coating, which can taste bitter or soapy. To keep the quinoa from going down the drain, use a fine-mesh strainer vs. the one you use for pasta.<\/p>\n As with any other grain, seed or rice variety, quinoa can become watery and mushy if overcooked. Differences between brands of quinoa or cooking equipment can impact how quickly quinoa becomes tender. If the quinoa is ready before all the water is absorbed, remove it from the heat and drain the excess water rather than cooking it longer.<\/p>\n The light, fresh flavors of the quinoa salad recipe pair well with any grilled chicken recipes<\/a> or seared cast-iron skillet steak<\/a>. Serve quinoa salad recipes with crispy baked tofu<\/a> to keep a meal vegetarian or vegan.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" This hearty yet light vegetable-packed quinoa salad has
