Hey friends! As the weather warms up, there’s nothing like a vibrant salad to welcome the season. Today, I’m excited to share a delightful recipe for a Spring Quinoa Salad with Salmon and Fresh Herbs that’s perfect for a light lunch or dinner. It’s not only packed with flavor but also loaded with nutrients to keep you energized!
Ingredients:
- 1 cup quinoa, rinsed
- 2 cups water
- 2 salmon fillets
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 cucumber, diced
- 1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped
- 1/2 cup fresh herbs (like parsley, dill, and mint), chopped
- Juice of 1 lemon
- Olive oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions:
- Cook the Quinoa: In a medium saucepan, bring the water to a boil. Add the quinoa, reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook for about 15 minutes or until all the water is absorbed. Fluff with a fork and let it cool.
- Prepare the Salmon: While the quinoa is cooking, season the salmon fillets with salt, pepper, and a drizzle of olive oil. Grill or bake them until cooked through (about 6-8 minutes on each side depending on thickness). Once done, flake the salmon into bite-sized pieces.
- Mix the Salad: In a large bowl, combine the cooled quinoa, salmon, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, and fresh herbs. Drizzle with lemon juice and olive oil, then season with salt and pepper to taste. Toss everything together until well combined.
- Serve: Enjoy your salad fresh! It pairs wonderfully with a glass of sparkling water or your favorite beverage.
