Green Bean Salad With Lime Vinaigrette And Red Quinoa Recipes

Steps:

• Fill a medium saucepan with water and bring to a boil. Add salt to taste and green beans. Boil 4 to 5 minutes, until crisp-tender. Transfer to a bowl of cold water, then drain and drain again on a kitchen towel. Cut in 2-inch lengths.
• Meanwhile, soak onion in cold water for 5 minutes. Drain, rinse, and drain again on paper towels.
• In a salad bowl, combine green beans, onion, almonds, chile, cilantro, and chives.
• Combine lime juice, salt, and olive oil in a small bowl or measuring cup and whisk together. Toss with beans. Add quinoa and toss again. Sprinkle chopped egg on top, and serve.

Steps:

• Cook Quinoa as directed on package (I use Bob's red mill. 1 3/4 cup water and 1 cup dry Quinoa).
• While Quinoa is cooking, place Cilantro, lime juice, red wine vinegar, agave, olive oil, salt and pepper in a blender or food processor and pulse.
• Toss finished Quinoa in a large bowl with black beans, red pepper, and onion.
• Pour cilantro lime vinaigrette over Quinoa salad and let marinate for atleast 30-45 minutes.

Steps:

• Heat 1 tablespoon oil in saucepan over medium-high heat. Add onion and garlic, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and a pinch of pepper. Cook, stirring, until translucent, about 3 minutes. Stir in quinoa and cook for 1 minute. Add water. Bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook, covered, until water is absorbed, about 16 minutes. Remove from heat. Let stand 10 minutes; fluff with fork. Cool completely, about 25 minutes.
• Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add 1 tablespoon salt and beans, cooking until bright green, about 4 minutes. Drain and rinse in cold water.

Steps:

• Steam the green beans until crisp-tender.
• Drain in a large colander and run under cold water.
• Leave to drain thoroughly, about 10 minutes.
• Make vinaigrette: In a small blender, whisk all blender ingredients until emulsified.
• Check seasoning and adjust (you will probably find that you will need to add more salt after you add the vinaigrette to the green beans).
• Pour dressing onto green beans in a pretty bowl and toss to coat.
• Allow beans to 'sit' in dressing for at least 1/2 hour before serving to absorb dressing.
• Re-toss just before serving.
