Recipe type: Salad; Side Dish
Serves: 4-6
Ingredients
  • 1½ cups uncooked quinoa, rinsed
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • ¾ tsp ginger
  • ½ tsp turmeric
  • ½ tsp cardamom
  • salt and black pepper, to taste
  • ½ cup dried dates, sliced
  • ½ cup raw almonds, chopped
  • 3 tbsp fresh chives, chopped
  • handful baby spring mix, optional
Instructions
  1. Combine the quinoa, cumin, ginger, turmeric, and cardamom with 3 cups of water in a medium pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce to low and cover, letting cook for 15 minutes, or until the water is fully absorbed.
  2. Once cooked, immediately fluff the quinoa with a fork. Mix in the dates, almond, and chives.
  3. Optional: serve over a bed of baby spring mix, or your favorite dark leafy greens. (I think arugula might go well with this!)
  4. Store in a container in the fridge for up to 1 week.
