Ingredients

  • 1 cup quinoa
  • 2 cups water
  • 1 bunch asparagus, trimmed and cut into 2-inch pieces
  • 2 medium carrots, peeled and grated
  • 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper

Instructions

  1. 1Rinse the quinoa under cold water in a fine mesh strainer.
  2. 2In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed quinoa and water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes or until the quinoa is fluffy and the water is absorbed.
  3. 3While the quinoa is cooking, bring a pot of water to a boil. Add the asparagus and blanch for 2-3 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp. Drain and immediately transfer to an ice bath to stop the cooking process.
  4. 4In a large bowl, combine the cooked quinoa, blanched asparagus, grated carrots, cherry tomatoes, red onion, and parsley.
  5. 5In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to make the dressing.
  6. 6Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine all ingredients evenly.
  7. 7Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more salt or lemon juice as desired.
  8. 8Serve immediately or refrigerate for 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
