The weather has already reached the 90’s this week and for dinner last night, I felt like we needed something cold. This Sesame Ginger Quinoa Salad was exactly what I needed. Ingredients 1 cup cooked quinoa2 cups water1/4 teaspoon salt1 1/12 cup shelled frozen edamame 3 medium carrots, peeled and diced1/2 yellow pepper, diced1/2 red pepper, diced 1 cup red cabbage, chopped2 tablespoons sesame oil2 tablespoons rice vinegar3 tablespoons fresh ginger, freshly minced1 tablespoon sesame seeds– Cook quinoa, water and salt in a covered pot. Heat on high until it boils, lower the heat to low and cook for about 15 minutes or until quinoa is soft and water is absorbed. (I often cook more quinoa than I need and refrigerate it – it saves on prep time). – Pour quinoa into a medium bowl and mix edamame, carrots, peppers and cabbage– In small bowl, complete the dressing by mixing sesame oil, rice vinegar, minced ginger and sesame seeds-Pour dressing over the quinoa and veggies and mix thoroughlyChanges I made include: cooking the edamame and adding more rice vinegar and sesame oil. I recommend adjusting it to your own taste. It’s certainly something I will make again (and James asked to take some to work today).

This looks delicious, I love quinoa!
I’ve never tried qunioa, but that looks delish, I think I’ll have to give it a whirl!
It took me some time to learn to cook quinoa. Alone it does not have much of a taste but it takes on the flavors of whatever you cook with it. It’s healthy and I now truly love cooking with it. Thanks for stopping by. Let me know what you think of it.
This looks beautiful and I bet it tastes amazing!!!! Thanks for linking up for Good Food Friday!
