Ingredients
Scale
1 cup of quinoa (uncooked)
2 cups of grilled chicken breast (shredded)
1 medium red bell pepper (sliced)
1 medium cucumber (diced)
1 cup of edamame (shelled)
3 green onions (sliced)
2 tablespoons of sesame oil
2 tablespoons of rice vinegar
2 tablespoons of soy sauce
1 tablespoon of honey or maple syrup
Instructions
Step 1: Begin by rinsing the quinoa under cold water. In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup of quinoa with 2 cups of water. Bring it to a boil, reduce heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for about 15 minutes. Fluff it with a fork once it's done cooking.
Step 2: While the quinoa cooks, season your chicken breast with salt and pepper. Grill it over medium heat for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until fully cooked. Once done, shred the chicken with two forks for easy mixing.
Step 3: Slice the red bell pepper and cucumber, and chop the green onions. Ensure each piece is bite-sized for optimum texture and blend in flavors.
Step 4: In a large mixing bowl, add the cooked quinoa, shredded chicken, edamame, sliced vegetables, and sesame oil. Gently toss to combine everything evenly.
Step 5: In a separate small bowl, whisk together rice vinegar, soy sauce, honey or maple syrup, and a pinch of salt. Adjust the flavors to match your preferred taste by adding more honey or soy sauce.
Step 6: Drizzle the Asian dressing over the salad, tossing gently to ensure an even coating. Allow the salad to sit for about 10 minutes to let the flavors meld together.
Step 7: Your Salad with Asian Dressing is now ready! Serve it chilled or at room temperature.
