Recipe: Quinoa Salad

(from INSANITY: THE ASYLUM™)

Here's one of Shaun T's favorites from his brand-new workout program, INSANITY: THE ASYLUM. Healthy and filling, this salad can help get you through your most extreme workouts. Did you know that quinoa contains all the amino acids needed to make a complete protein? It's pretty rare to see that kind of nutrient profile in a single plant-based food.

• 1/2 cup quinoa
• 2 cups water or broth (chicken or vegetable)
• 1 tsp. turmeric
• 1 pinch salt
• 1 lemon wedge
• 1 lime wedge
• 1/4 cup sliced cucumber
• 1 Tbsp. diced onion
• 1 tsp. grated raw ginger
• 1 Tbsp. julienned mint
• 1 Tbsp. chopped pistachio nuts
• 1/2 cup chopped romaine lettuce

Combine quinoa, water or broth, salt, and turmeric in a medium saucepan. Cover 

and cook over medium heat until about half the liquid is absorbed and quinoa begins

 to soften, about 15 minutes. Strain quinoa in a mesh strainer, then place in a bowl.

 Squeeze lemon and lime over quinoa and place in refrigerator to cool. When cool, 

toss with remaining ingredients. Makes 1 serving.

Preparation Time: 40 minutes
