TURMERIC QUINOA & EDAMAME SALAD

By Sarah Cobacho

TURMERIC QUINOA & EDAMAME SALAD

Prep:20min

This salad ticks every single box. It’s delicious, easy to make and comes together in under 20 minutes. You only need to cook the quinoa, so there are barely any dishes (especially if you eat it straight from the salad bowl as I do 😂). But is it nutritious? Oh yes, it is! With 11 unique plants, 31g of protein, 18g of fibre and some healthy fats from the nuts and avocado, not only will it keep you feeling full and satisfied, but it will also be a feast for your microbiome. Bonus points if you want to add a little kimchi or your favourite fermented food for even more gut health benefits. Turmeric and its active ingredient, Curcumin, is an amazing addition to any diet. It’s packed with antioxidants and anti-inflammatory. It’s not absorbed so well on its own, but the good news is combining it with black pepper will boost its absorption. So make sure you don’t skip the added black pepper to our lovely turmeric quinoa 🙂

This was yummy! It took me an hour to make bc I’m scared of the slicer so cutting the cabbage took forever… The salad reminds me of a spring roll dipped in peanut sauce ! Will make again… & hopefully I’ll be braver and use the mandoline !!

Okay. Where to start. We had this on our meal-plan, and then realized 1) we had chicken that was a day past it's "use by" date, and the avocado we bought had gone rogue. So...we opted to triple-down on the protein by adding grilled chicken and a hard-boiled egg (in place of the avocado), and skipped the quinoa since the edamame is starchy on its own. Used peanut butter instead of almond butter, added a little red pepper flake to the dressing and a drizzle of sirrachia to the entire dish. It was SO good!! The flavors of the dressing are subtle, yet the entire dish had SO much flavor. We will definitely make this again, but as they were originally designed!!
