Ham Apple And Quinoa Salad Recipes

QUINOA APPLE SALAD

Steps:

• Bring the vegetable broth and rinsed quinoa to a boil in a medium-sized saucepan. Add the cranberries, cover, and remove from heat. Let stand for 15 minutes, then fluff with a fork. Transfer to a large salad bowl.
• While the quinoa is cooking, whisk together the olive oil, maple syrup, dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, minced garlic, ground allspice, salt, and pepper.
• In the bowl with the quinoa, mix in the maple dijon vinaigrette. Then mix in the diced apple, celery, parsley, and candied walnuts. Serve hot, room temperature, or cold. I love to serve it with Air Fryer Tofu or Air Fryer Chicken!

QUINOA, HAM AND PEPPER BREAKFAST SALAD

Steps:

• Bring a medium saucepan of water to a boil. Add the quinoa, and cook until tender, 10 to 12 minutes. Strain well, and cool completely. (The quinoa can be cooked a day ahead.)
• Put the vinegar, 1 tablespoon of the oil, mustard, 1 tablespoon water, 1/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a jar or other container with a lid. Secure the lid, and shake until combined. (The vinaigrette can be made a day ahead; shake well before serving.)
• Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the peppers and onions, and cook, stirring occasionally, until they are just tender and browned in some spots, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the hot sauce, and stir. Remove the skillet from the heat, and let the vegetables cool completely. Wipe out the skillet, and set aside.
• Toss the quinoa, pepper-onion mixture, spinach, ham, Cheddar and scallions with the vinaigrette in a large bowl. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Divide among 4 serving bowls.
• Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon oil in the skillet over medium heat. Pour in the eggs, and add a pinch of salt. Tilt the skillet so the eggs completely cover the bottom. As the eggs turn from runny to cooked at the edge of the skillet, push the cooked eggs all around the edge to the middle of the skillet with a heatproof spatula so the uncooked eggs can spill into the free space and cook (this helps the eggs cook faster, and you won't have to flip the omelet). Once all the eggs are just cooked through, slide the omelet out onto a cutting board. Let it cool for a few minutes, then roll it up into a cylinder and cut it into 1/2-inch slices. Top each salad with a few "pinwheels" of egg. Serve hot sauce on the side.

HAM APPLE AND QUINOA SALAD

Steps:

• In a large bowl combine quinoa, ham, apple, celery and celery leaves.
• In a small bowl, whisk together oil, vinegar, mustard and honey. Add to quinoa and gently toss to coat.
• Season to taste with salt and pepper. Cover and refrigerate at least 30 minutes. Serve topped with pecans.

APPLE-AND-HAM SALAD

Steps:

• Thinly slice the apples. Toss with the lemon juice in a large bowl.
• Make the dressing: Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the shallots and 1/2 teaspoon salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden, about 8 minutes. Whisk in the vinegar and mustard; remove from the heat and let cool slightly. Whisk in the sour cream and 1/4 cup water.
• Add the dressing to the bowl with the apples. Add the ham, watercress and endives. Season with salt and pepper and toss to coat.
