Replacing White Flour with <strong>Whole</strong> Grains<br />

Red Quinoa Arugula Salad (2)<br />

You have five quinoa recipes <strong>to</strong> try in Chapter 6 (“Quinoa Main Dish Recipes” on page 172). Here’s another<br />

interesting one using a different variety of my favorite grain that is delicious, quick <strong>to</strong> prepare, and high in<br />

protein.<br />

2 C red quinoa, rinsed well and drained in a fine strainer<br />

4 C water<br />

1 Vidalia (sweet) onion, diced<br />

½ C shelled pistachios, chopped<br />

5 oz. package of arugula, chopped<br />

½ C dried apricots, soaked, drained, and chopped<br />

juice of 1 orange<br />

juice of 1 lemon<br />

2 cloves garlic, diced<br />

½ C flaxseed oil<br />

½ tsp. sea salt<br />

Bring the water <strong>to</strong> a boil, add the quinoa,<br />

cover, and reduce the heat. Simmer for 20<br />

min., then drain any excess water and cool.<br />

In a serving bowl, whisk the juices, garlic,<br />

salt, and oil <strong>to</strong>gether. When the quinoa is<br />

cooled, <strong>to</strong>ss all the ingredients well in<br />

dressing and serve immediately.<br />
