Save it, plan it, shop for it.
Supper turns recipes like this into a planned week and a sorted grocery list — then walks you through cooking, hands-free. Coming soon to iOS.
Ingredients
Serves 4- 1 tablespoon cilantro
- 1 tablespoon mint
- 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
- 2 avocado (cubed)
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 2 tablespoon olive oil
- 3 tablespoon lime juice
- 4 carrots (julienned)
- 6 ounces baby spinach (roughly chopped)
- 1/3 cup shelled pistachios
- 1 teaspoon dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoon honey
- 1/2 cup uncooked quinoa (cooked according to package instructions)
- salt + pepper (to taste)
- 1 cup frozen edamame
- 8 oz. peeled and cooked beets (chopped (I always buy these to save myself loads of time))
Open in Supper to scale servings and turn this into a grocery list.
Steps
- Step 1
First, cook the quinoa (if it isn't already cooked). Leftover quinoa works great here, too. When quinoa is cooked, fluff with a fork and set aside to cool.
- Step 2
Cook the edamame- bring a small pot of water to a boil. Once boiling, add a small pinch of salt and frozen edamame. Cook for approximately 5 minutes, or until edamame is just cooked. Drain and set aside to cool.
- Step 3
Prepare remaining salad ingredients (except for the avocado) and place in a large bowl. Add the cooled quinoa and edamame (these need to be cooled otherwise the spinach will wilt and get soggy) and toss everything together.
- Step 4
Prepare the dressing- whisk together all the ingredients until emulsified (or use a small food processor if you have one).
- Step 5
Finally, drizzle vinaigrette over the top of the salad and gently toss to combine. Add cubed avocado and drizzle with fresh lemon or lime juice, if desired.
- Step 6
(note- if you know you will have leftovers, only drizzle the vinaigrette on each individual serving, otherwise leftovers will be soggy. The same applies to the avocado)
