How to Make Apple Almond Quinoa With Curry Vinaigrette
- Cook 1 cup quinoa according to package directions. Fluff with a fork and let cool completely.
- While quinoa cooks, whisk together the vinaigrette: 1/4 cup olive oil, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 1 tablespoon minced shallot, 1 teaspoon curry powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
- Taste the vinaigrette and adjust seasonings as needed. Add more curry powder for a spicier kick or more lemon juice for extra brightness.
- In a large bowl, combine the cooled quinoa, 1 medium diced apple (Honeycrisp or Fuji recommended), 1/2 cup slivered almonds, and 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro (optional).
- Gently toss the quinoa mixture with the curry vinaigrette. Add the dressing gradually to prevent the salad from becoming soggy.
- Serve immediately or chill for later. Garnish with extra almonds and cilantro, if desired.
