Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 cup quinoa, rinsed well
Kosher salt
1 Meyer lemon
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
8 ounces brussels sprouts, trimmed and thinly sliced (preferably on a mandoline)
1/4 cup walnuts, toasted and chopped
2 scallions, thinly sliced (1/3 cup)
1/2 dried chile de arbol, crumbled, or 1/4 teaspoon crushed red-pepper flakes

Steps:

  • Place quinoa and 1 1/2 cups water in a small saucepan with a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to a simmer, and cook, covered, until grains are tender and water has been absorbed, about 16 minutes. Transfer to a bowl; let cool.
  • Peel 4 long strips of zest from lemon with a vegetable peeler; thinly slice. Juice lemon into a bowl (you should have 2 tablespoons); whisk in oil in a slow, steady stream.
  • Add zest, brussels sprouts, walnuts, scallions, and chile to quinoa. Season with 3/4 teaspoon salt and drizzle with vinaigrette. Stir to combine. Serve immediately, or refrigerate, covered, up to 3 days.
