Total Time: 32 minsCategory: Salad, Side DishCalories: 165 per serving1. First rinse and drain your quinoa using a mesh strainer or sieve. Bring a small pot to medium heat and lightly toast the quinoa to remove any excess water, stirring often. This step is optional but really adds to the nuttiness and fluff factor of the quinoa! Next add your water, set burner to high, and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce heat to low and simmer, covered with the lid slightly ajar, for 12-13 minutes or until quinoa is fluffy and the liquid has been absorbed.
2. Once your quinoa is ready, fluff with a fork and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Transfer to a medium bowl to cool.
3. While the quinoa cooks, chop all your veggies and make the dressing.
4. To make the lemon dressing, whisk together all the ingredients in a small bowl or add to a mason jar (with a tight fitting lid) and shake well. Feel free to adjust ingredients to taste.

Total Time: 30 minsCategory: Entree, Salad, SideCalories: 309 per serving1. Heat a small saucepan over medium heat. Add sesame oil and rinsed quinoa. Toast quinoa, stirring frequently, for 2-3 minutes, then add water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Then reduce heat to low, cover and cook for 18-20 minutes (or until liquid is absorbed). Once cooked, turn off the heat and leave the lid on until serving (this helps make the quinoa fluffier).
2. While the quinoa is cooking, add 1 inch of water to a medium saucepan, heat over medium-high heat, and insert a steamer basket (or steam in the microwave). Once water is simmering, add the edamame, then the broccoli and cover. Cook for 2 minutes to gently thaw the edamame and steam the broccoli. Then remove from heat and transfer to a large mixing bowl (for serving). Set in the refrigerator to chill.
3. Next, prepare dressing. To a small mixing bowl add nut butter, chili garlic sauce, maple syrup, tamari (or coconut aminos), lime juice, sesame oil, minced ginger (optional), crushed peanuts (optional) and whisk to combine. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed, adding more maple syrup for sweetness, chili garlic sauce for heat, tamari for saltiness, or lime juice for acidity. Set aside.
4. Add quinoa, sliced red pepper, and cabbage to the steamed broccoli and edamame and top with dressing and additional crushed peanuts (optional). Toss to combine. Serve immediately.
