Ingredients:

  • 1 1/2 cup. quinoa
  • 3 1/4 cup. plus 3 tbsp. water
  • 1 bag - 10 oz. broccoli florets
  • 2/3 cup. chopped carrot (about 1 large)
  • 3 tbsp. vegetable oil
  • 2 tsp. soy sauce
  • 2 tsp. sesame oil

Directions:

  1. In sieve, rinse quinoa with cold running water. In 3 - quart saucepan, combine quinoa, 3 cups water, and 1/2 tsp. salt; heat to boiling over high heat. Reduce heat to low; cover and simmer 20 min. or until water is absorbed. Transfer quinoa to large bowl.
  2. Meanwhile, place broccoli and 1/4 c. water in microwave-safe medium bowl; cover and cook in microwave oven on High 4 - 5 min. or until tender-crisp. Drain; add to quinoa in bowl.
  3. In blender, combine carrot, ginger, vegetable oil, vinegar, soy sauce, sesame oil, remaining 3 TBSP. water, and 1/4 tsp. salt; blend until pureed. Add to quinoa and broccoli and toss to combine. Serve salad warm or at room temperature.
  4. * I found that the warm ingredients really absorbed the dressing, so I would suggest mixing up twice the dressing. Pour half on the salad and taste, then add additional dressing to your liking.
