QUINOA SALAD WITH STRAWBERRIES
This side dish brings all the flavors from a classic strawberry and spinach salad with poppy seed dressing into a light but filling grain salad. The mildly creamy dressing keeps the salad moist without weighing it down. Soaking the shallot in ice water cuts some of its sharp bite and prevents the entire dish from tasting like onion.

Steps:
- Cook 1 cup quinoa; let cool. Soak 1 thinly sliced shallot in ice water, 10 minutes. Drain and toss with the quinoa along with 2 cups baby spinach, 1 cup diced strawberries and 1/4 cup chopped salted almonds. Whisk 2 tablespoons each sour cream, olive oil and cider vinegar with 1 teaspoon each sugar, poppy seeds and kosher salt; season with pepper. Toss the quinoa salad with the dressing. Let stand 10 minutes.
5-INGREDIENT STRAWBERRY AND BLACK QUINOA SALAD
No doubt you're familiar with white quinoa, which has become a healthy pantry staple in recent years. But you might be pleasantly surprised by the fun, pop-y texture and striking color of the black variety. Black quinoa also has an earthier taste, and works well in cold salads, since rather than clumping together, each seed of black quinoa can boldly hold its own.

Steps:
- Put the quinoa in a medium pot and cover with cold water; let soak 5 minutes. Drain thoroughly in a fine-mesh strainer and return to the pot. Pour in 1 1/4 cups water and bring to a boil over high heat. Cover and reduce the heat to low, then simmer 15 minutes. Remove from the heat without disturbing the lid and allow it to rest for 5 minutes. Fluff with a wooden spoon or fork.
- Arrange the quinoa, salad mix, strawberries and chicken in lines in a large, wide shallow dish or in 4 small shallow dishes. Serve oil, vinegar and salt and pepper on the side.

5-INGREDIENT QUINOA SALAD WITH EDAMAME AND CARROTS
While this gluten-free salad is complete as is, it also serves as a canvas for other ingredients if you want to make a grain-and-vegetable bowl, a quick and easy lunchtime favorite. One tasty option includes serving it on top of a handful of fresh baby spinach and sprinkling with toasted sliced almonds or sesame seeds. If you have cooked-vegetable leftovers, toss those on, too, as well as any random garnishes you have on hand, like chopped scallions, fresh cilantro or fresh-squeezed lime.

Steps:
- Put the quinoa in a medium pot and cover with cold water; let soak 5 minutes. Drain thoroughly through a fine-mesh strainer and put it back in the pot.
- Add the broth to the quinoa and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to low, cover and cook for 12 minutes. Sprinkle in the edamame in an even layer and add a pinch of salt. Cover and continue to cook, 3 more minutes. Remove from the heat without disturbing the lid, and allow it to rest for 5 minutes. Transfer the quinoa to a large plate and scatter the edamame on top; drizzle with the oil. Spread in an even layer with a wooden spoon, drawing lines in it to cool it quickly.
- Transfer the cooled quinoa to a large bowl and add the carrots. Season with 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Serve warm or chill at least 2 hours, or until ready to serve.
