This salad combines cooked and cooled quinoa with pomegranate seeds, arugula, and walnuts, bringing together its whole-grain and low-carb attributes. A lemon and olive oil dressing adds a fresh balance.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Cook the Quinoa

15 min

Put the rinsed quinoa and water in a pot and bring to a boil. Cook over low heat for 15 minutes, until the water is absorbed.

2

Cool

10 min

Spread the cooked quinoa on a wide plate and let it cool to room temperature for 10 minutes.

3

Prepare the vegetables

10 min

Remove the pomegranate seeds, wash the arugula, and chop the mint.

4

Toss and Serve

10 min

Add the pomegranate seeds, arugula, walnuts, and mint to the cooled quinoa. Toss with olive oil, lemon juice, and salt, then serve.

Reminder

Do not mix the quinoa with the arugula while it is hot; the warm grains will wilt the leaves right away. Contains tree nuts (walnuts).

Kinoayı tarifte önerilen 10 dakika yerine daha az bekletip sıcakken rokayla karıştırdım, yapraklar hemen soldu ve salata görüntüsünü kaybetti. Bir dahaki sefere tam süresini bekleyeceğim.

Evet, o 10 dakika gerçekten kritik; sıcak taneler yaprakları saniyeler içinde soldurabiliyor. İsterseniz kinoayı buzdolabında biraz daha hızlı soğutabilirsiniz.
