Turn on the stove to medium-high heat and bring it to a boil. Then reduce the heat to low and cook for about 10 minutes until water is absorbed. Turn off heat and let it sit covered for 5 minutes. DO NOT LET THE QUINOA GET MUSHY, that will ruin the dish. Start by preparing the dressing, add lime juice, grated/minced ginger, garlic, balsamic vinegar, honey, olive oil, salt and black pepper to a small bowl. Mix well and set it aside. Add the bell pepper, carrot, cucumber, red onion, cooked peas, avocado to the mixing bowl. Add the dressing to veggies make sure everything is well incorporated. Then add the quinoa to the veggies and mix well. Then add the cashew on the salad. You can eat it right away, BUT I HIGHLY RECOMMEND TO CHILL THE SALAD IN THE REFRIDGERATOR FOR A FEW HOURS BEFORE SERVING. This will allow the flavours to blend and it tastes so good cold This recipes is perfect for meal prep and meal planning - it stores well in the refrigerator for 2 to 3 days, if stored well in an airtight container. IMPORTANT NOTES: 👉 Regarding cooking the quinoa, do not let the quinoa get mushy. Cook for 10 minutes or just until quinoa is cooked but still holds it's shape 👉 After you mix the dressing with the quinoa and veggies, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND TO CHILL IT IN THE REFRIGERATOR FOR A FEW HOURS BEFORE SERVING. This will allow the flavours to blend and tastes so good cold 👉 This recipes is perfect for meal prep / meal planning, as it stores in the refrigerator for 2 to 3 days - if stored well in an airtight container ***** Welcome to Eat Well!
