Cooking Instructions

HIDE IMAGES
Step 1
Get a medium sauce pan and bring the Chicken Stock (2 1/4 cups) to a boil in it on the stove. Once it is boiling, stir in the Quinoa (1 1/4 cups) . Put a lid on the pot and turn the heat to low. Let the quinoa cook for 12-15 minutes, until it is tender and the little tendrils pop out. When it is done, fluff it up with a fork. While the quinoa cooks, prepare the rest of the salad
Step 2
Get a skillet and heat the Olive Oil (1 dash) in it over medium high heat. Add the White Mushrooms (2 1/3 cups) and Cherry Tomatoes (2 cups) and let them cook until tender for about 6-7 minutes.
Step 3
Then add in the Fresh Baby Spinach (1 cup) and let it just wilt in, followed by the seasoning of Salt (1 pinch) , Freshly Ground Black Pepper (1 pinch) , and Garlic Powder (1 pinch) . Finally, add the Grated Parmesan Cheese (1 Tbsp) to melt in. Stir it all together well and set it aside.
Step 4
Make the easy dressing next. Whisk the zest and juice of the Lemon (1) and Dijon Mustard (1/4 tsp) together in a bowl thoroughly. Then slowly pour in the Olive Oil (1/3 cup) while you keep whisking until you have a gorgeous, pale yellow dressing. Take the quinoa and the dressing and stir them both into the skillet of vegetables.
Step 5
You can serve it warm immediately, leave it out and serve it at room temperature, or chill it in a sealed container for up to a day ahead of time! It's so versatile.
