Quinoa Recipes Broccoli Salad
Broccoli Quinoa Salad with Creamy Lemon Dressing does not sound like the sort of recipe that would elicit an emotional reaction. Dancing around the kitchen, closing one’s eyes in culinary ecstasy, and wildly proclaiming “mmmmmm” are just not the sort of behaviors one associates with ingredients like broccoli and quinoa. Throw in the word “salad, ” and you have a recipe that sounds ho-hum, not HOLD ME BACK, I WANT MORE.
What happened the moment I took a bite of this quinoa and broccoli salad with almonds (and this Quinoa Chickpea Salad). That is just not normal.
Then again, this Broccoli Quinoa Salad, complete with crunchy almonds and a creamy lemon yogurt dressing, isn’t normal either. It’s exceptional. Audible yumming, kitchen happy dance, hallelujah exceptional.
Broccoli And Chickpea Quinoa Salad
Every element of this Broccoli Quinoa Salad works together to create a dish with elevated and bewitching layers of flavor and texture. The quinoa is light and nutty, the broccoli is crisp, the almonds are toasty, and a heaping handful of fresh tarragon and parsley makes the salad taste animated and fresh. Toss the entire shebang in a creamy lemon yogurt dressing, and you have a healthy green meal that will have you dancing in your kitchen too.
Broccoli Quinoa Salad tastes as good the day it is made as it does leftover. You can serve it at room temperature at a party or potluck or prep a big bowl over the weekend for healthy lunches and dinners all week long. If you’d like to add some extra protein beyond what is already in the quinoa, feel free to toss in some chickpeas or top it with grilled or shredded chicken.

Recipe. I eliminated a few steps (and their accompanying bowls), changed the ingredient ratios to be more to my liking (more green, less grain), and updated the ingredients to ones that I more frequently have on hand. For example, I replaced the buttermilk in the original dressing recipe with Greek yogurt, which offers the same tang, but is creamier, healthier, and far more likely to be in my refrigerator.

Rinse the heads of broccoli under cool running water, then shake to remove any excess water. Pluck any leaves from the stems, then trim the stems from the heads, and reserve for another purpose.
Broccoli Crunch Salad With Quinoa
Place the trimmed broccoli head upside down on the cutting board.Using a paring knife, slice whole florets from the stalk.Cut larger florets through the stalk, then gently pull apart to create bite-sized pieces.
Spread the broccoli florets onto a parchment lined baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil, then sprinkle with salt and pepper. Toss the broccoli with the oil and seasoning using your clean hands, then distribute the florets evenly across the baking sheet.
Place the quinoa into a fine mesh sieve. Rinse the quinoa under cool running water until the water stops foaming (this sounds weird, but you’ll see what I mean). The rinsing step removes the quinoa’s natural coating (saponin), which can cause the cooked quinoa to clump, and can also make it taste bitter.
Quinoa And Broccoli Salad
Heat the water and quinoa over high heat until the water starts to boil, then reduce the heat to low to maintain a slow simmer, cover, and cook for 15 minutes.
After 15 minutes, check the quinoa to make sure all of the water is absorbed. Cook a minute or two longer if it’s not. Then remove from heat, and keep covered for an additional 5 minutes. Remove the lid and fluff with fork. Perfect!
Combine the cooked quinoa and roasted broccoli in a large mixing bowl. Add dried cherries, roasted and salted sunflower seeds, and some chopped fresh mint.

Make Ahead Broccoli And Quinoa Salad Recipe
How long does this salad last? Quite awhile! Store this salad in a tightly sealed container in the fridge for up to five days. It’s best stored separate from the dressing. It’s pretty tasty cold, or reheat in the microwave for 30-60 seconds if you’d like.
I don’t want to make sunbutter sauce. Is there another dressing you recommend? Sure! It’s also great with a light lemon dressing. Find my favorite lemon vinaigrette recipe here.
Can I add cheese? Of course! Shaved parmesan, feta, or ricotta salata would all be excellent additions. About a quarter cup should do it.
