Ingredients
2 cup water
1 cup quinoa (rinsed and drained)
1 cup edamame
3 tbsp. light oil
2 tbsp. fresh lime juice
2 tbsp. honey
½ tsp. Sambal chili paste
1 tbsp. ginger (grated or minced)
1 tsp. garlic (minced)
1 tsp. salt
2 to 4 tbsp. cilantro (chopped fine)
1 cup red bell pepper (sliced)
½ cup carrots (grated)
1 cup bok choy (sliced thin)
¼ cup green onions (sliced thin)
Instructions
In a medium pot over medium heat, bring the water to a boil; add in the quinoa. Bring the water back to a boil, add the edamame, cover and reduce heat to a simmer. Cook for 20 minutes.
While the quinoa is cooking, combine the dressing ingredients in a small mixing bowl. Whisk to combine the oil, lime juice, honey, Sambal chili paste, ginger, garlic, salt and cilantro. Set aside.
When finished cooking, transfer the quinoa to a large bowl; fluff with a fork and let cool a bit. Then add in the bell pepper, carrots, bok choy and green onions. Toss with the dressing, as much as needed, right before serving.
A protein-packed side dish or entrée, Rainbow Quinoa Salad can be enjoyed at room temperature or chilled.
