Quinoa Salad with Zucchini, Mint, and Pistachios

Quinoa Salad with Zucchini, Mint, and Pistachios

Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 1 cup quinoa, rinsed well 1 1/2 cups water Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil 1 medium zucchini, thinly sliced (about 2 1/2 cups) 1 clove garlic, thinly sliced 3 scallions, thinly sliced (about 1/2 cup) 1/4 cup roasted salted pistachios, chopped Zest and juice (about 3 tablespoons) of 1 lemon 1/2 cup packed fresh mint leaves, chopped, plus more for garnish

Directions

Place quinoa and water in a small saucepan and season with a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and cover. Simmer until tender and water is absorbed, about 16 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl and let cool.

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Add zucchini; cook, stirring occasionally, until tender and golden, about 7 minutes. Add garlic; cook until fragrant (do not let brown), about 30 seconds. Season with salt and pepper and add to quinoa.

Stir in scallions, pistachios, lemon zest and juice, and mint. Season with salt and pepper and serve immediately.

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       09/14/2015   yum  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       03/22/2015   This was simple and delicious. I made this as a side for roast leg of lamb with lemon, garlic and rosemary, and it was perfect. I added eggplant and cherry tomatoes. The lemon juice and zest with the mint really spice up the quinoa, which is otherwise dull when just served alone. Great recipe.  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       01/21/2015   Great recipe. Very light, summery salad but filling. I omitted the scallions (texture preference) and added feta cheese.  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       01/08/2014   Easy recipe in only 3 steps. Perfect! Myriad Antinuisibles  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       12/11/2013   Excellent Salad, which is very tasty and healthy as well. Wonderful idea. Because my husband has some heart problems, I avoided the salt and used more pepper. Also used a bit more garlic to compensate for the taste. Excellent recipe! Janice
