QUINOA SALAD WITH AVOCADO AND KALAMATA OLIVES
This is inspired by a salad I recently enjoyed in a small vegetarian restaurant called Siggy's on Henry Street in Brooklyn Heights. They called it a quinoa Greek salad, but really the only thing that was Greek about it was the kalamata olives. No matter, it was still delicious.

Steps:
- Place the quinoa in a strainer and rinse several times with cold water. Place in a medium saucepan with 1 1/4 cups water and salt to taste. Bring to a boil, cover and simmer 15 minutes, until the grains display a thread-like spiral and the water is absorbed. Remove from the heat, remove the lid and place a dish towel over the pan, then return the lid to the pan and let sit for 10 minutes or longer undisturbed. Transfer to a salad bowl and fluff with forks. Allow to cool.
- Add the remaining salad ingredients except the salad greens to the bowl. Whisk together the dressing ingredients. If using yogurt, thin out if desired with a tablespoon of water.
- Just before serving toss the lettuces with 3 tablespoons of the dressing. Toss the quinoa mixture with the rest of the dressing. Line a salad bowl or platter with the greens, top with the quinoa, and serve. Or if preferred, toss together the greens and quinoa mixture before serving.

QUINOA SALAD WITH AVOCADO, DRIED FRUIT AND NUTS
Equally delicious and nutritious. This is a hit at dinner parties and good when you want to get extra grains into your menu. And the colors are fab! This makes a huge quantity. The recipe says 4-6 servings, I would consider those main-dish size servings. I think it makes closer to 8-10 side dish servings. Don't be scared off by the food.com calorie calculation!

Steps:
- In a medium bowl, soak the cranberries and apricots in hot water for 5 minutes. Drain and set aside.
- In a 2-quart saucepan, bring 2 cups water, the quinoa, and 1/2 teaspoons salt to a boil over high heat. Cover, reduce the heat to medium low, and simmer until the water is absorbed and the quinoa is translucent and tender, 10 to 15 minutes. (The outer germ rings of the grain will remain chewy and white. Some germ rings may separate from the grain and will look like white squiggles.) Immediately fluff the quinoa with a fork and turn it out onto a baking sheet to cool to room temperature.
- Finely grate the zest from the lemon and then squeeze 1 Tbs. juice. In a small bowl, whisk the lemon zest and juice with the olive oil, coriander, cumin, paprika, and 1/4 teaspoons salt. In a large bowl, toss the vinaigrette with the quinoa, cranberries, apricots, avocado, scallions, and almonds. Season to taste with salt and pepper and serve.

QUINOA SALAD WITH CHICKPEAS AND AVOCADO
I first tried quinoa chickpeas salad in Old Town Bakeshop and I fell in love with it instantly. The following recipe is a compilation of several recipes I found on the internet. Preparation is very simple. You can even have leftovers for another day.

Steps:
- Soak the quinoa in enough cold water, stir and let it soak for 15 minutes. Strain and rinse it under cold water. Put the quinoa in a small pot and add 300ml (1.5 cup) of cold water. Bring to boil and cook over very low flame for 15 minutes. It should just simmer. Stir it occasionaly to prevent the content from sticking to the pot and burning. All the water will eventualy absorb/evaporate. When it's done, fluff it with a fork, put it in a large bowl and let it cool down. You can even put it in a fridge for a while.
- Cut the cherry tomatoes in quarters. Cut the green onions to thin rings, use only the green stems. Press the garlic or chop it finely.
- Strain the chickpeas and add it into the cold quinoa. Add all ingredients except for the avocado. Crumble in the feta cheese. Stir everything well to combine all the flavors together, and put the salad in a fridge for some time.
- Dice the avocado and add it to the salad right before serving so it doesn't turn brown.
