Number Of Ingredients 12

3/4 c water

1/3 c lite sour cream (or more to taste)
1 tsp sugar (or more to taste)
3 tsp curry powder
1 tsp ground cumin

1 1/2 c thinly sliced celery
1/3 c minced green onions
1/3 c golden raisins ( or more to your liking)

Steps:

  • 1. Bring water to a boil in saucepan over high heat. Stir in quinoa, reduce heat to med-low, cover and simmer 15-18 minutes or until most liquid is absorbed. Place in a fine mesh sieve and run under cold water to cool quickly. Shake off excess liquid. Combine mayonnaise, sour cream, sugar, curry, cumin and salt. Stir until well blended. Stir in celery, onions and raisins. Add chicken, almonds and quinoa. Toss and let stand 10 minutes to absorb flavors and allow quinoa to turn yellow slightly. Serve on bed of fresh spinach leaves.

This salad was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still very good. I think I would reduce the amount of honey next time.
