Preparation Time10 min

Cooking Time25 min

Ingredients

1 cup quinoa
1 package mache greens, 3.5 oz
4 scallions, chopped
2 small apples, chopped
1 cup pistachios
3 tablespoons well-stirred tahini
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 lemon, juiced
1 teaspoon turmeric
3 tablespoons water, to thin out

Bring 2 cups salted water to a boil. Add 1 cup quinoa and return to a boil, stir. Cover with a tight-fitting lid, reduce heat to medium and simmer for about 12 minutes or until liquid is absorbed. Or you can use a rice cooker.
Remove from heat, fluff with a fork and let stand for a few minutes with the lid on.
Add all salad ingredients into a large bowl and toss gently.
Make dressing. In a jar add all dressing ingredients and shake well. Adjust water to desired consistency. I used 3 tbsp water.
Dress right before serving.

This looks like such a great salad! There's fruit, vegetables, and protein. Additionally, turmeric was such great health benefits. It has a beautiful orange color with a very strong flavor even with only one teaspoon.
