2 cups ...Quinoa Salad with Grapefruit and Avocados<br /><br />2 cups water + 3 cups water<br />1 cup uncooked quinoa<br />1 mint tea bag<br />2 tbsp lime juice<br />2 tsp sugar + 2 tsp sugar<br />Pinch black pepper<br />1/3 cup olive oil<br />1 red grapefruit<br />1 avocado<br />1/2 tsp salt<br />1/2 small red onion<br />1/2 apple cider vinegar<br /><br />Step 1 (to be completed at least a few hours before the salad is to be served):<br />Bring 3 cups of water to boil in a pot. Chop onion and return the water to a boil. Drain and immediately transfer onions to a glass container. Add apple cider vinegar and 2 tsp sugar. Cover and refrigerate for at least two hours.<br /><br />Step 2:<br />In a saucepan add 2 cups of water and a mint tea bag, turn to high heat and let boil. Remove tea bag. Add quinoa and return to a boil. Cover, reduce heat to low and simmer for 12-15 minutes (all water should be absorbed). Remove from heat, transfer to serving bowl and refrigerate to allow the quinoa to cool.<br /><br />Step 3:<br />In a small bowl whisk together lime juice, 2 tsp of sugar, 1/2 tsp salt, pepper, and olive oil. Peel grapefruit and remove skin so you are crumbing pulp into the mixture. Peel and pit avocado and chop to satifaction, then add that to the mix as well (do not chop avocado until you are ready to serve). Drain the mixture from step 1 and add onions.<br /><br />Step 4:<br />Transfer all contents from Step 3 into the bowl of quinoa. Serve immediately.<br /><br />If making this salad to travel (say at a pot luck!) complete all steps except those involving the avocado which can be added last after everything else has been mixed.Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00174011056472766238noreply@blogger.com
