Replacing White Flour with Whole Grains
Red Quinoa Arugula Salad (2)
You have five quinoa recipes to try in Chapter 6 (“Quinoa Main Dish Recipes” on page 172). Here’s another
interesting one using a different variety of my favorite grain that is delicious, quick to prepare, and high in
protein.
2 C red quinoa, rinsed well and drained in a fine strainer
4 C water
1 Vidalia (sweet) onion, diced
½ C shelled pistachios, chopped
5 oz. package of arugula, chopped
½ C dried apricots, soaked, drained, and chopped
juice of 1 orange
juice of 1 lemon
2 cloves garlic, diced
½ C flaxseed oil
½ tsp. sea salt
Bring the water to a boil, add the quinoa,
cover, and reduce the heat. Simmer for 20
min., then drain any excess water and cool.
In a serving bowl, whisk the juices, garlic,
salt, and oil together. When the quinoa is
cooled, toss all the ingredients well in
dressing and serve immediately.
