Comment préparer Summer Salad With Quinoa
- Rinse 1 cup quinoa thoroughly under cold water until the water runs clear. Drain well.
- Combine the rinsed quinoa and 2 cups of water in a small saucepan.
- Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes, or until all the water is absorbed.
- While the quinoa cooks, whisk together 1/4 cup Italian dressing, 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar, 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper in a large bowl.
- Chop 1 cup carrots, 1 cup green beans, 1 cup cherry or grape tomatoes, and 1/2 cup summer squash into bite-sized pieces.
- Add the chopped vegetables to the bowl with the dressing and gently toss to combine.
- Rinse and drain 1 (15-ounce) can of cannellini beans. Add them to the salad.
- Once the quinoa has cooled slightly, fluff it with a fork and add it to the salad. Stir gently to combine.
- Serve immediately or chill for at least one hour in the refrigerator for optimal flavor. Garnish with fresh herbs (optional).
