Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook the Quinoa

    Rinse the quinoa under cold water. In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup of quinoa with 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cover for 15 minutes. Once cooked, fluff with a fork and let it cool.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Vegetables

    While the quinoa is cooking, thinly slice the radish and halve the cherry tomatoes. Set aside.

  3. 3

    Make the Vinaigrette

    In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tablespoons of lime juice, 2 tablespoons of agave syrup, 3 tablespoons of olive oil, salt, and pepper to taste. Adjust the sweetness and acidity as needed.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Salad

    In a large bowl, combine the cooked quinoa, arugula, sliced radish, cherry tomatoes, pickled red onion, and fresh herbs. Drizzle with the lime agave vinaigrette and toss gently to combine.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes before serving.
