Rate this Recipe

Serves 10 - 12


Ingredients:

2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1 1/2 cups quinoa, rinsed well and drained
1 1/2 lb. sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 3/4-inch dice
8 cups baby greens, such as arugula or kale
1/2 cup bottled vinaigrette salad dressing of your choice
2 large tart apples, cut into 1/2-inch dice
1/2 cup red onion, diced, rinsed well and drained
Sea salt
Freshly ground black pepper

Directions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. In a large saucepan, heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil. Add the quinoa and toast over moderate heat, stirring, for 2 minutes. Add 3 cups of water, season with salt and bring to a boil.
  2. Cover and simmer the quinoa for 16 minutes. Remove from the heat and let stand for 10 minutes. Fluff the quinoa, spread it out on a baking sheet and refrigerate until it is chilled, about 20 minutes.
