Rainbow Quinoa Salad with Tahini Ginger Dressing ★★★★★1 review

Today I have an easy peasy recipe to share with you guys, something I just whipped up with a bit of thisssss and a bit of thatttttt last night. I decided to make a Rainbow Quinoa Salad with Tahini Ginger Dressing because who doesn’t like tahini, and who doesn’t like rainbows? Winner!

Serves 4 | Prep time: 15 mins | Cooking time: 20 mins

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 cup Quinoa, rinsed
  • 2 cups Water
  • 1/2 tsp Pink Himalayan Sea Salt
  • 1 cup Red Cabbage, shredded
  • 1 cup Corn Kernels, cooked
  • 1 Red Pepper, diced
  • 1 Carrot, diced
  • 1 bunch Baby Broccoli, de-stemmed

Dressing

  • 2 Tbsp Sesame Oil
  • 1 1/2 Tbsp Tahini
  • 3 Tbsp Rice Vinegar
  • 2 tsp Coconut Sugar
  • 1 Tbsp freshly minced Ginger
  • 1/2 cup Vegetable Broth
  • 1/4 tsp Pink Himalayan Sea Salt

METHOD

  1. In a small pot, combine quinoa, salt and water. Bring to a boil, turn down to a simmer and cover. Let cook for 15 minutes.
  2. Meanwhile, lightly steam carrot and broccoli – make sure they still remain slightly crunchy.
  3. Once quinoa is cooked, transfer to a large mixing bowl and add in Red Cabbage, Corn, Red Pepper, Carrot and Broccoli. Toss to combine.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk dressing ingredients together.
  5. Pour dressing into quinoa a little at a time, and toss with each addition. Do this until all the dressing has been used.

Enjoy your warm, delicious quinoa!
