Best Asian Style Quinoa Salad With Chili Orange Dressing Recipes
ORANGE QUINOA SALAD
I love grain salads, especially when they combine sweet and savory. There are several possible variations for this: add some chopped orange sections, shredded roast chicken, crumbled feta cheese...or all of the above! From Cooking Light, July 2006

Steps:
- Whisk all dressing ingredients together in a small bowl. Set aside.
- Cook raw quinoa in a large skillet for 4 minutes over medium heat, stirring frequently.
- Pour quinoa into a sieve and put the sieve in a bowl.
- Add enough water to cover the quinoa and rub the grains between your hands for 30 seconds. Rinse and drain.
- Do this two more times. If you skip this step, your quinoa will be bitter. (If you don't want to go to so much trouble, try making this with couscous instead.).
- In a large saucepan, combine rinsed quinoa with 2 3/4 cups water and 1/2 tsp salt.
- Bring to a boil, cover, reduce heat, and simmer for 20 minutes.
- Bring to room temperature, then stir in remaining ingredients and dressing.
- Cover and chill.

Steps:
- Prepare the dressing by whisking together the first 7 ingredients (thru pepper).
- Rinse the quinoa very throughly to remove the bitter natural resin.
- Bring 2 cups of water to boil and add quinoa in a steady stream to prevent clumping. Return to the boil and and reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer for 15 minutes until it is tender. Look for the white line around the seed - it's the germ and when it bursts the grain is cooked. If water remains in the pot, remove the lid and boil and stir until the remaining liquid evaporates, being careful not to overcook. Remove from heat and let stand covered for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork and let in cool.
- In a serving bowl combine the quinoa with the last 4 ingredients. Add dressing and toss until combined.
- Chill for 1 hour before serving.
