GREEN BEAN SALAD WITH LIME VINAIGRETTE AND RED QUINOA
This is a green bean salad with quinoa as opposed to a quinoa salad with green beans. Red quinoa is secondary to the green beans here. The two ingredients provide a colorful contrast. The salad is alive with texture, the crisp-tender green beans with the crunchy almonds and the chewy, comforting quinoa. The flavors here are Mexican: lime juice, chile, cilantro, white or red onion. It's simple to put together but the sum is complex.

Steps:
- Fill a medium saucepan with water and bring to a boil. Add salt to taste and green beans. Boil 4 to 5 minutes, until crisp-tender. Transfer to a bowl of cold water, then drain and drain again on a kitchen towel. Cut in 2-inch lengths.
- Meanwhile, soak onion in cold water for 5 minutes. Drain, rinse, and drain again on paper towels.
- In a salad bowl, combine green beans, onion, almonds, chile, cilantro, and chives.
- Combine lime juice, salt, and olive oil in a small bowl or measuring cup and whisk together. Toss with beans. Add quinoa and toss again. Sprinkle chopped egg on top, and serve.
