Kitchen Sink Quinoa for Passover Seder! And yes quinoa is good to go for Passover (unless your super strict then check labeling). Happy Passover everyone!

Kitchen Sink Quinoa

Remember to have fun with this!  Experiment and use whatever ingredients you have lying around.  Everything but the kitchen sink will work in this recipe. 🙂

Quinoa

• 2 – 2 ½ cups cooked quinoa (one cup raw) according to package directions (I add a little olive oil and good quality salt and pepper during cooking)
• ¼ – ½ cups small diced red onion (whatever you prefer amount wise) – if you don’t like raw onions soak them in the dressing first, this will mellow the onion flavor
• Handful of chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
• 1 large cooked sweet potato (peel, dice, boil in salted water for 10-15 min till tender while the quinoa is cooking, you can also use a leftover baked sweet potato, won’t be as pretty but still yum)
• Few handfuls of baby arugula (Olivia’s organics boxed baby arugula is my fav)
• Mix ingredients in large bowl.  Add dressing (recipe below).  ENJOY!! It can be eaten room temp, cold or hot for lunch or dinner and will last for days in the refrigerator. Really, it’s the perfect meal.

Dressing

• Juice of half a lemon (you can add some zest too if you want to get fancy)
• Big spoonful of good Dijon mustard
• Salt and pepper
• Squeeze of agave nectar, honey or any other natural sweetener you have
• 1 clove of grated garlic (trust me, amazing) – you can use a zester or the smallest side of a box grater
• Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Combine ingredients together and drizzle in olive oil last.  You can add more or less mustard, sweetener etc. – the dressing is meant to be customized as well.
