Gluten-Free Quinoa And Papaya Salad

Step 1

Place quinoa and water in small saucepan and bring to boil.

Step 2

Reduce heat, cover and simmer until all water is absorbed, about 10-15 minutes.

Step 3

Remove from heat and keep covered while you work away at the rest of your salad. (You can cook quinoa ahead of time if you’d rather use it cold.)

Step 4

While quinoa is cooking, prepare and mix all the ingredients of the salad in a large mixing bowl.

Step 5

In a food processor or blender, purée all the dressing ingredients until smooth.

Step 6

Combine salad fixings with quinoa and pour dressing over top. Stir to combine.

Step 7

You can serve immediately or allow to chill in the refrigerator for 2-3 hours. Store the leftovers in an airtight container. Will keep in the fridge for 3 days.
