Quinoa Salad

Ingredients

  • 4 cups quinoa, cooked
  • 1 cup bell pepper, diced (mixed colors; green, red, orange, or yellow)
  • 2 green onions, sliced
  • 2-3 stalks celery, sliced
  • 1/2 cup nuts, toasted (sliced almonds, cashews, or pine nuts)
  • 1 cup tahini dressing (see recipe on Cookinglessonsfordad.com)

Instructions

  1. Prepare tahini dressing and toast nuts ahead of time (see recipes). Rinse and chop vegetables. Mix ingredients together in a bowl.
  2. Chill mixture and serve. (You may want to top with additional toasted nuts for garnish).

Notes

You may replace the quinoa with couscous if desired.

You can find the recipes for toasted nuts, tahini dressing, quinoa and couscous on Cookinglessonsfordad.com.

You could serve this salad immediately after preparing but it is better after it chills for a while.
