Quinoa Salad with Pistachios and Cranberries
Quinoa Salad with Pistachios and Cranberries
Number of Servings
Serves 4
Ingredients
Salad
- [q:1/3] cup ([q:1 1/2] ounces by weight) pistachio nuts
- 1 cup ([q:6 1/4] ounces by weight) quinoa
- [q:1 1/2] cups (12 ounces) water
- [q:1/2] teaspoon fine sea salt
- 2 stalks celery, sliced
- 3 scallions, green tops removed, sliced
- [q:1/4] cup ([q:1 1/4] ounces by weight) dried cranberries, coarsely chopped
Sherry Vinaigrette
- 1 Tbsp ([q:1/2] oz) sherry vinegar
- [q:1/4] tsp sea salt freshly ground pepper
- 4 Tbsp medium extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tsp water
Directions
- To toast the pistachio nuts, preheat the oven to 350°F. Arrange the pistachio nuts in a single layer in a small pan and roast until you can just detect their aroma and they are lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Let them cool to room temperature, then chop them coarsely. (This can be done ahead.)
- Toast the quinoa in a medium skillet over high heat, shaking the pan occasionally, until it lightly browns, starts to crackle, and smells a bit toasted, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a pot, add the water and the salt, cover, and bring to a simmer. Cook until the quinoa is soft but still has a little bite, about 15 minutes. The water should be gone.
- Transfer the grain to a bowl and let it cool. Add the pistachio nuts, celery, scallions, and cranberries and toss everything together.
- For the Sherry Vinaigrette, add vinegar, salt and a few grindings of pepper into a small deep bowl. Slowly pour 2 tablespoons of the extra-virgin olive oil into the bowl, beating constantly with the fork. Beat in the water, then the remaining 2 tablespoons of extra-virgin olive oil. Taste for seasoning.
- Dress the salad with the Sherry Vinaigrette.
- If not serving immediately, refrigerate the salad, but bring it to room temperature before serving.
