Ingredients
Salad:
- 3/4 cup quinoa, dry
- 2 cups cabbage, shredded
- 2 carrots, shredded
- 1 cup snow peas, thinly sliced
- 1 green onion, thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup cilantro, chopped
- 1/4 cup cashew, roughly chopped, to serve
Dressing:
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce, tamari or coconut aminos
- 1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
- 1/2” inch ginger root, grated
Directions
- In a small pot, combine quinoa with 3 cups water (or chicken broth for added flavor), bring to a boil, and then reduce to a simmer and cook for 12-15 minutes until quinoa is done. Once cooked, in a fine mesh strainer, strain quinoa to discard all of the water and then run under cold water to cool immediately. Set aside.
- While the quinoa is cooking prepare the vegetables and the dressing. Grate and chop all of the vegetables, and combine all of the dressing ingredients in a small jar or container and whisk until well combined. Set aside.
- Once the quinoa has cooled completely, in a large bowl combine the quinoa with all of the vegetables, cover with dressing, and toss well to combine.
- Season to taste as desired and top with cashews to serve.
- The salad can be eaten immediately, or stored in an air-tight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
