BLACK QUINOA, FENNEL AND CELERY SALAD



Black Quinoa, Fennel and Celery Salad image

This salad was a big surprise. It is so simple. I began with a bulb of fennel and some celery that I had on hand in the refrigerator, the remains of a bag of black quinoa, and fresh herbs from my garden, thinking that I would need to add some unexpected ingredients to achieve something interesting. But the contrasts of textures and the crisp, clean flavors of the fennel and celery in a lemony dressing made for a salad that I can't resist. Slice the fennel and celery as thin as you can.

CHICKPEA, QUINOA AND CELERY SALAD WITH MIDDLE EASTERN FLAVORS



Chickpea, Quinoa and Celery Salad With Middle Eastern Flavors image

It's the sumac (available in Middle Eastern markets) and the herbs - dill, mint, chives - that give this salad its Middle Eastern accents. I love the texture and flavor of the chickpeas, which make for a substantial and comforting dish. It's all you need for lunch and makes a delicious light supper. I love abundant, thinly sliced celery in just about any lemony salad; you will appreciate it for its texture as well as its flavor. Of course, you can use canned chickpeas, but if you have the time, try cooking some dried chickpeas to see how good they taste.

FENNEL-APPLE SALAD WITH WALNUTS



Fennel-Apple Salad With Walnuts image

A bright and tangy salad cuts the heaviness of the typical Thanksgiving meal. This one, with fennel, celery, apples and toasted walnuts, is all crunch, which the carb-heavy meal can generally use more of. You can make the dressing a day ahead and store it in the fridge, but don't dress the salad until an hour before serving.

FENNEL AND CELERY SALAD WITH LEMON AND PARMESAN



Fennel and Celery Salad With Lemon and Parmesan image

This crisp, lemony salad of raw fennel and celery (you could add thinly sliced celery root to the salad as well) makes a refreshing start to a meal, garnished with radishes and slightly bitter Treviso or radicchio leaves. It could also be a light meal on its own. Don't slice the vegetables paper-thin; you want the salad to have some crunch. You may prepare the vegetables up to an hour in advance and keep refrigerated, but don't dress the salad more than 10 minutes before serving.

  • Cook the quinoa according to the package directions. The cooking time will vary depending on the type of quinoa you are using.
  • Let the quinoa cool slightly before assembling the salad. This will help to prevent the salad from becoming watery.
  • Use a variety of vegetables in your salad. This will add flavor, color, and nutrients.
