"The colorful quinoa salad brings together grains cooked al dente combined with red bell pepper, grated carrot, fresh peas, and chopped red onion. Seasoned with citrus lemon and olive oil vinaigrette, it results in a nutritious dish, rich in plant proteins and fibers."
- The 15-minute cooking in two parts of water cooks the quinoa until the outer ring of the grain detaches. - Resting for 5 minutes and then fluffing the grains with a fork ensures a light base without clumping. - Raw, fresh vegetables ensure a crunchy texture contrasting with the softness of the Andean seed.
In a pan, place the quinoa and water. Let boil and then reduce the heat, cooking for about 15 minutes until the water evaporates.
Turn off the heat and let the quinoa rest for 5 minutes. Afterward, use a fork to loosen the grains.
In a large bowl, add the cooked quinoa, bell pepper, carrot, peas, and red onion.
In a separate bowl, mix the lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper, creating a dressing.
Pour the dressing over the salad and mix all ingredients well.
Let the salad rest for 10 minutes before serving, so that the flavors mix.
Optional decoration: fresh mint or cilantro leaves.
Serve cold or at room temperature. Enjoy!
