Asian Quinoa Salad

1/30/2018

The dressing for this salad rocks! Slightly spicy and sweet, it's delicious with the blend of vegetables typically used in Asian-style salads. I add quinoa. On it's own quinoa is pretty flavorless making it the perfect compliment to most dishes. Quinoa is nutrient-dense. It's packed with protein and fiber and is loaded with magnesium, iron and anti-oxidants. It's readily available in grocery stores and is super easy to prepare (it's as easy as rice). Adding chopped peanuts gives this dish another layer of texture and some more peanutty crunch.

I definitely enjoy this dish. I have never tried quinoa, and now that I have, I absolutely love it. Also, the dressing is to die for.

Really fresh and tasty! It's true, the dressing is good enough to drink. It elevated the dish and made it a lot more tasty than an average salad. We didn't have enough dressing, but still the sauce was the best part. I liked all of the elements of the dish, the crunch (peanuts), the flavor (dressing), the fresh, light, vegetables. We might have added too much bell pepper, it overpowered the dish, but it was overall an amazing, healthy and delicious, dish.

The Asian Quinoa salad had a great flavor. To me the salad had a flavor of orange chicken and a good texture because of the cucumber and the peanuts.

I loved it and I was surprised when Ms. Raluy said it was healthy. My kitchen actually regret sharing our sauce. I really wish we had more.

Even though this was the first time I tried quinoa, I actually really liked it. I thought that the dressing was the best part of the whole salad. It tasted very good.

I never thought quinoa and salad would ever combine. I do not like bell peppers, but with the dressing it tasted okay. If I ever make the salad again, I would not add bell peppers and cucumber

THE BEST DISH EVER!!! This dish was extravagant. The best part about the salad was the dressing. I loved it , but my salad could've used some more belt pepper. I will DEFINITELY make this again.

Last week we made quinoa and it was okay. The process was easy and we finished super fast. The dressing tasted like orange chicken which was really good.

This dish was very good especially for someone who has never tasted quinoa. Also the dressing we made was very good as it had the sweet taste it needed. If I could eat it again I definitely would

This wasn’t my favorite meal. It was very easy and my first time making quinoa. I probably would make it again, but for my family.

The quinoa was not my favorite but not bad. The sauce took up most of the flavor of everything else and it got boring eventually. But the saucer was good so I didn't mind as much.

This was a fun recipe to make. It was also the first time I had made or eaten quinoa and I have to say that I’m not a fan of it. But my family did like it so I might make again in the future.

I really enjoyed the quinoa salad. I really be the tangy and spice in the sauce. I brought some home and she ate the whole salad.

The Asian Quinoa Salad was amazing! I loved it so much and now all I want to eat is quinoa. I’m definitely planning on making it sometime soon to take for my lunch at school. I’ve made quinoa salad before but this was way better then what I have made previously.
