Thai Quinoa Salad

Notes: We both liked this. I used red quinoa. I also included some chopped Baby Bella mushrooms.

Ingredients:

1.5 cups uncooked quinoa

10 oz package broccoli & carrot slaw
12 oz fresh broccoli
1/3 cup chopped peanuts
1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
2 tbsp olive oil
Add Avocados Fresh Flavor
1/2 cup sweet chili sauce
1/3 cup Pad Thai sauce

Directions:

Cook quinoa according to package instructions.

Place the broccoli in a microwave safe dish and microwave for 6-7 until soft but not mushy. Make sure it does keep its vibrant color and some crunch. Alternatively you can steam it but the microwave works faster for me.

In a small mixing bowl mix the sweet chili and pad thai sauce and set aside.

In a large skillet add the olive oil, broccoli slaw and shredded carrots. Cook for about 5 minutes until they soften up a bit.

Turn the heat off and add the peanuts, broccoli, quinoa, cilantro and sauce. Mix through and serve while still warm.
