CORRIANDER AND TURMERIC QUINOA SALAD

This quinoa salad with coriander and turmeric is refreshing and healthy because it is a treat of great flavours and nutrients. That earthy flavour of turmeric mixed with the freshness of coriander and the crunch of a protein-rich quinoa grain makes the salad delectable and healthful. It really is super for a light lunch or even just as a side dish to accompany any meal. It gives the colour, and alongside this, it also provides anti-inflammatory properties. Coriander provides a bright, herbaceous note that opens and develops the flavour of the meal. Ready in just a jiffy and rich in health, this is the best salad for those who are looking for healthy but simple food.

PREPARATION OF CORIANDER AND TURMERIC QUINOA SALAD

  • Cook the quinoa: Rinse the quinoa in cold running water. Then, put instructions on the box about how to cook it and let it cool for about 10 minutes.
  • Prepare the dressing: Prep the dressing by mixing all these ingredients, including the olive oil, salt, turmeric, and pepper in a bowl so that all the ingredients dissolve into the oil using the turmeric.
  • Combine the ingredients: Stir all the ingredients together by combining cooked and chilled quinoa with fresh coriander and turmeric dressing in a large bowl. Mix gently; that is, stir in all the components until quinoa is properly coated with oil and spices.
  • Serve: Season with salt and pepper to taste and serve at once, garnished with any further leaves for a pretty presentation.

PREP TIME

5 minutes

COOKING TIME

15 minutes (including cooking time for quinoa)

TIPS FOR CORRIANDER AND TURMERIC QUINOA SALAD

  • It should be served fresh, just cooled down after cooking.
  • Add toasted nuts or seeds for that crunch that’s added to the texture of the salad.
  • You may even add a squeeze of lemon juice for a fresh flavour.
  • Parsley or mint can be used instead of fresh coriander if either or both are handy.
  • Stir the dressing well so that turmeric dissolves completely in olive oil.

VARIATIONS

  • Add bits of diced cucumber or cherry tomatoes to add freshness.
  • For some extra proteins, add chickpeas, black beans, or grilled tofu.
  • For those not on a vegan diet, you can add richness with a pinch of feta or goat cheese.
  • Add some pomegranate seeds or raisins for that ‘sweet’ touch.
  • You can also add cooked spinach or kale for extra filling.

PREPPING AND STORAGE

  • Fridge: Cooked quinoa salad can be stored in the fridge in an airtight lid for up to three days. Do not refrigerate for some days.
  • Freezing: Do not freeze this dish. On being defrosted, the cooked quinoa and fresh herbs become mushy, which is rather unpresentable.
