Description

This simple salad is one of my favorite things to pack up for lunch!

Ingredients

  • 3 cups Low-sodium Vegetable Broth (or Water)
  • 2 cups Uncooked Quinoa
  • 6 whole Scallions, White And Green Parts, Roughly Chopped Into 1/2 Inch Pieces
  • ⅓ cups Olive Oil
  • 2 teaspoons Soy Sauce
  • ½ cups Fresh Squeezed Lime Juice (about 2 Limes)
  • 1 Tablespoon Honey
  • ½ cups Slivered Almonds, Toasted
  • 1 whole Avocado, Sliced

Preparation

Bring broth to a boil in a large pot with a tight-fitting lid. Meanwhile, toast quinoa in a large, dry saute pan over medium-high heat, stirring constantly. When quinoa turns golden in spots and starts to smell toasted and nutty, about 5 minutes, remove from heat. Pour quinoa into the boiling broth; reduce heat to a simmer. Cover and allow to simmer for 15 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to rest, covered, for 5 minutes more. Fluff with a fork and add scallions, stirring to combine.

Whisk together olive oil, soy sauce, lime juice and honey in a small bowl. Slowly pour liquids over the quinoa, tossing to coat. Just before serving, add almonds and avocado, and stir to combine. Serve immediately or refrigerate and serve chilled.

This was so good, and perfect to grab and take for lunch. I think avocado should go in everything :)
