Today we're bringing a burst of color to the table with our Tutti Colori Quinoa Salad, an easy recipe we love making with quinoa and red bell pepper. We combine crunchy vegetables, a touch of black sesame seeds, and an extra virgin olive oil and lime dressing for a fresh, vibrant, and super flavorful salad.

Prep: 15 minCook: 18 minServes: 2

Ingredients

Here are the ingredients you need

  • 200g cooked quinoa
  • 1 red bell pepper
  • 1/2 cucumber
  • Red cabbage
  • 2 carrots
  • Green peas
  • Chives
  • Black sesame seeds

Seasoning

  • Pink salt
  • Black pepper
  • Extra virgin olive oil
  • Lime juice

Extras

  • You're always asking me about cooking times for quinoa: it takes about 18 minutes (add the quinoa to the pot right when the water comes to a boil)
  • Remember, for fluffy, perfectly cooked quinoa, cook it al dente, stop the cooking by rinsing under cold water, and drain it really well.
