ARUGULA, LEMON QUINOA SALAD
A very light side dish, served room temperature or a slight chill with a fresh peppery lemon vinaigrette, peas, scallions, spicy arugula and quinoa. Very simple and easy to put together. It really isn't meant as a main dish, but a great side dish to compliment your main course and very healthy. You could always turn this into a main dish by adding some grilled chicken.

Steps:
- Quinoa -- Cook according to directions. For most brands it is 1 part to approximately 2 parts liquid. Rinse the quinoa very well before you cook it - Important Step! Then bring the liquid to a boil (I prefer to use a broth to add even more flavor), reduce, and simmer for about 15 minutes. Just check your package for complete directions. Once done, just set to the side to cool.
- Salad Ingredients -- In your serving bowl, add the arugula, onion, scallions, garlic, peas, parsley and lemon zest. Toss well.
- Vinaigrette -- I like to make my vinaigrettes in a small tupperware container so I can just shake it and it is ready to go. Besides, if you don't use all your dressing, just put the lid back on and it will keep in the refrigerator for future use. But you can also mix this up in any small bowl or measuring cup. Just mix up the olive oil, lemon juice, shallot, mustard, sugar and pepper.
- Finish -- Simply add the cooled or room temp quinoa to the salad vegetables and toss. Add a little vinaigrette at a time and mix. Add as much vinaigrette as you want. Check for seasoning and add any additional salt and pepper if needed.
- Serve -- ENJOY this lighter salad.

Steps:
- Bring water, quinoa, and a pinch of salt to a boil in a medium saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until quinoa is tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Fluff with a fork and set aside to cool completely.
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a small baking dish with foil.
- Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Season chicken with salt, pepper, garlic powder, oregano, and paprika. Brush with olive oil and sear in the hot pan until grill marks appear, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer chicken to the prepared baking dish.
- Bake in the preheated oven until chicken is no longer pink and the juices run clear, about 20 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes. Cut into ½-inch cubes.
- Combine lemon juice, olive oil, Dijon, and honey in a cup. Season with salt and pepper. Whisk rapidly until dressing is smooth.
- Combine arugula, quinoa, and chicken in a large mixing bowl. Add dressing and toss to coat.

- To make pickled red onion: place the sliced red onion in a small, but wide bottom bowl. Pour red wine vinegar (or white wine vinegar) into the bowl until most of the onion is submerged. Set aside and occasionally stir to make sure all the onions get pickled.
- To cook the quinoa: combine the uncooked quinoa with the vegetable broth in a medium pot. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low. Simmer, uncovered, for 15 minutes or until the water is absorbed. Remove from the heat source, cover the pot, and let it sit for 5 minutes. Remove lid and fluff the quinoa with a fork. Let cool completely before using in the salad. See notes below.
- Blanch the asparagus: Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the asparagus to the boiling water and cook until tender, 3-4 minutes depending upon thickness. Use a fork to test if they are fork-tender.
- Once to your liking, immediately plunge asparagus into an ice water bath to halt the cooking. When cooled completely, drain and pat dry. Then slice into ½-1 inch pieces.
