Steps

Read instructions and get ready to cook

1
Cook the quinoa

Rinse the quinoa under cold water. In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed quinoa and water. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes, or until the quinoa is tender and the water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let the quinoa cool.

2
Prepare the vegetables

While the quinoa is cooking, dice the red bell pepper and cucumber. Grate the carrot. Thinly slice the red cabbage. Chop the green onions, fresh cilantro, and fresh mint leaves.

3
Make the peanut dressing

In a small bowl, whisk together the peanut butter, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sesame oil until smooth. Mince the garlic clove and grate the ginger, then add them to the dressing. Squeeze the juice of the lime into the dressing and whisk until well combined.

4
Assemble the salad

In a large bowl, combine the cooled quinoa, diced red bell pepper, grated carrot, diced cucumber, sliced red cabbage, chopped green onions, cilantro, and mint leaves. Pour the peanut dressing over the salad and toss until all the ingredients are evenly coated.

5
Serve

Serve the Thai quinoa salad immediately, or chill it in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Enjoy this delicious and healthy salad as a main course or side dish.
