x
Print Options
Description
If you are unable to find black quinoa, don’t fret; this salad works just as well with white or red quinoa. The orange and cumin dressing, mixed with tender golden raisins, lends a Moroccan flavor to this easy side dish. It is a satisfying accompaniment to grilled meat. Alternatively, pair with beans for a protein-packed vegetarian meal.
Ingredients
- 1 cup Black Quinoa (can Substitute Red Or White Quinoa)
- 2 cups Water
- ¼ cups Golden Raisins
- 3 Tablespoons Fresh Orange Juice
- ½ teaspoons Ground Cumin
- ¼ teaspoons Kosher Salt
- 2 Tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 2 whole Green Onions, Thinly Sliced
Preparation
Pour quinoa into a fine mesh strainer and rinse until the water runs clear.
In a medium saucepan, combine quinoa, water and golden raisins. Bring to a boil, cover and reduce heat to low. Cook until all of the water is absorbed, about 20 minutes. Fluff quinoa with a fork and transfer to a medium bowl. Allow the quinoa to cool to room temperature.
The dressing:
In a small bowl, whisk together fresh orange juice, ground cumin and salt. While whisking, slowly pour in olive oil.
Toss the quinoa with the dressing and sliced green onions. Serve.
