Ingredients
- 375 ml (1.5 cups) of dry quinoa or 1L (4 cups) of cooked quinoa
- 2 grapefruits
- 1 English cucumber
- 1 red bell pepper
- 750 ml (3 cups) of frozen edamame
- 3 green onions
- 60 ml (1/4 cup) of fresh cilantro
- 500 ml (2 cups) of spinach
Dressing
- 15 ml (1 tbsp) of honey or maple syrup
- Juice of 1 lemon
- 15 ml (1 tbsp) of olive oil
- 1 ml (1/4 tsp) of ground cumin
- 1 ml (1/4 tsp) of ground coriander
- Salt and pepper to taste
Preparation
- Rinse the dry quinoa under cold water. Place it in a saucepan with 560ml (2 cups + ¼ cup) of water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Once the water starts boiling, reduce the heat to low and cook covered for about 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, cut the grapefruits into supremes (remove the white membranes and keep only the flesh). Over a salad bowl, squeeze the white membranes to extract as much juice as possible. Cut the cucumber and red bell pepper into cubes, thinly slice the green onions, and roughly chop the fresh cilantro and spinach. Place everything in the salad bowl.
- Prepare the dressing by mixing all the ingredients in a small bowl.
- When the quinoa is cooked, mix it with the dressing and the frozen edamame in the salad bowl. Adjust seasoning as needed.
