Instructions
Start by rinsing 1 cup of quinoa under cold water to remove bitterness. Cook it according to package instructions, typically using a 2:1 water-to-quinoa ratio.
While the quinoa cooks, prepare your vegetables. Shred the cabbage, grate the carrots, and chop the bell peppers, green onions, and cilantro.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the peanut butter, soy sauce, lime juice, honey, and sesame oil. Add water incrementally until you reach your desired dressing consistency.
In a large serving bowl, combine the cooked quinoa, shredded vegetables, edamame, and peanuts. Pour the peanut dressing over the salad and toss gently until everything is well coated.
Your Crunchy Thai Quinoa Salad is now ready to serve! Enjoy it chilled or at room temperature.
