Portions:
6 portions
Preparation:
30 min.
Cooking:
15 min

Ingredients

  • 500 ml (2 cups) quinoa
  • Water
  • 3 red Quebec apples (Spartan, McIntosch, etc.)
  • 2 garlic cloves, deseeded and crushed
  • 60 ml (4 tablespoons) cider vinegar
  • 1 can (398 ml) whole palm hearts, sliced
  • 125 ml (1/2 cup) chopped fresh parsley, compacted
  • 2 large tomatoes, trimmed, seeded and cubed
  • Olive oil
  • Salt and pepper
  • Dehydrated onion flakes
  • Caraway seeds
  • Savory, ground

Preparation

  1. Cook quinoa with water in a medium saucepan according to package directions. Be sure to cook it a little less (and with a little less water) than recommended so that it is still al dente.
  2. As soon as cooked, remove the pan from the heat, then transfer the quinoa to a bowl. Leave to cool for 15 minutes.
  3. Meanwhile, cut the apples in half, then remove the cores. Cut into strips and place in a salad bowl. Add garlic, then moisten with cider vinegar.
  4. Mix, then add the remaining ingredients, including the quinoa. Moisten generously with olive oil, then season to taste with salt, pepper, onion flakes, caraway seeds and savory.
  5. Toss to combine. Adjust seasonings to taste and add a little more vinegar or oil. Mix, then serve immediately. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
