Ingredients

  • 1 cup uncooked quinoa

  • 2 cups water

  • 1 1/2 cups chopped kimchi, drained

  • 1 cup diced cucumber

  • 1 cup diced red bell pepper

  • 1/2 cup chopped green onions

For the dressing:


  • 3 tablespoons sesame oil

  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar

  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce

  • 1 tablespoon honey or agave syrup

Preparation

Step 1


Rinse quinoa under cold water until the water runs clear. In a medium saucepan, combine quinoa and water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes, or until quinoa is cooked and fluffy. Remove from heat and let it cool.



Step 2


In a large bowl, combine cooled quinoa, chopped kimchi, cucumber, red bell pepper, green onions, and cilantro or parsley.


Step 3


In a small bowl, whisk together the dressing ingredients: sesame oil, rice vinegar, soy sauce, honey or agave syrup, grated ginger, salt, and pepper. Pour the dressing over the quinoa mixture and toss to combine.



Step 4


Top the salad with toasted slivered almonds and serve chilled or at room temperature.
