Recipe: Quinoa Salad with Spring Radishes and Greens | Apartment Therapy The Kitchn

Quinoa Salad with Spring Radishes and Greens
Serves 2

1/2 cup quinoa
1 cup water
3 tablespoons good, unsalted butter
1 1/2 cups microgreens
1/2 cup sliced French breakfast radishes
2 tablespoons basil chiffonade
1 teaspoon lemon zest
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon fleur de sel or other flaky sea salt

Measure out quinoa, place it in a fine-mesh strainer, rinse thoroughly with cool water, and drain.

Place quinoa in a small saucepan with 1 cup water and butter. Bring to a boil, cover, and simmer over low heat. Simmer for about 15 minutes, or until all liquid is absorbed.

Remove from heat and let stand for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork and let cool completely.

Toss the cooled quinoa with all other ingredients. Taste and add more salt if desired.

Serve by itself or on a bed of lettuce.
