Quinoa salad with creamy dressing and roasted carrots. Sometimes it may be a hearty salad, but sometimes without much green, but with lots of pseudo cereals. Pseudo cereals? Yes, so they call the varieties of amaranth, quinoa and co., which are actually no grain, but somehow look like it. I’m already looking forward to the next picnic with lots of different salads and the quinoa salad must not be missing.
Quinoa salad with creamy dressing
The idea for this salad came to me when I once again did not know what to do with the already cooked quinoa. I was thinking of a salad, but with a creamy dressing and topped with golden brown roasted carrots. A dream! I prefer to cook quinoa right away for the whole week, so I have no more effort when I want to quickly conjure up something from it. The possibilities with quinoa are virtually endless, as it can be prepared both sweet and savory.
For the quinoa salad we need very few ingredients. Cashews, water, salt, pepper, white wine vinegar and maple syrup. That’s it! I first mix the soaked cashews and water to make a creamy custard. Add the remaining ingredients for a creamy vinaigrette.
Pour over the quinoa, mix well, season to taste and our salad is ready. Pack your picnic things and off you go to relax in the sun. Of course, the roasted carrots must not be missing as a topping. Click here to go directly to the instructions.
