How to Make Toasted Quinoa Snow Peas Tomatoes And Mozzarella Salad
- Toast 1 cup quinoa in a medium saucepan over medium heat for 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until lightly golden.
- Add 3 cups of water to the saucepan, bring to a boil.
- Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes, or until all the water is absorbed and the quinoa is tender.
- Remove from heat, fluff with a fork, and let cool completely.
- While quinoa cools, prepare the remaining ingredients: Combine 1 cup shelled snow peas, 1 (8 ounce) ball fresh mozzarella, cut into 1/2-inch cubes, 1/2 cup thinly sliced red onion, 1/2 cup chopped cucumber, 1/4 cup chopped fresh mint, 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil, and 1 1/2 cups chopped tomatoes in a large bowl.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the zest and juice of 1 lemon, 1/4 cup olive oil, salt, and pepper to taste.
- Add the cooled quinoa to the large bowl with the vegetables and cheese. Pour the lemon-olive oil dressing over the salad and gently toss to combine.
- Serve immediately or chill for later. Garnish with extra fresh herbs if desired.
