Quinoa and Celery Salad is very popular. I recently read about it so was looking forward to trying it. While I was picking it up, another woman was picking one up and commented how wonderful it was. I told her it was my first time trying it and she said again she was crazy about it but it didn’t come with enough dressing. She’s right! It comes with 2 packages of dressing but it’s a huge container. You really need 3 packages of dressing. I found a copy cat recipe if you are interested in the ingredients. I doubt this is a serving of 1 as the recipe states!
Quinoa and Celery Salad (Costco Copycat Recipe)
Salads, Vegan
Prep Time: 15 minutes | Cook Time: 15 minutes | Servings: Serving: 1
Ingredients:
FOR THE SALAD:
1 cup quinoa
2 cups low sodium vegetable broth
2 cups chickpeas
4 cups kale
2 cups red cabbage
1 1/2 cups celery
1 cup shredded carrots
1/2 red onion
1/2 cup dried cranberries
1/2 cup slivered almonds
APPLE CIDER VINEGAR DRESSING
1/2 cup olive oil
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar (try ⅛ cup?)
1 tablespoon dijon mustard
1 tablespoon maple syrup
Salt & black pepper, to taste
Directions:
Add the quinoa to a fine mesh strainer and rinse well under cold running water. Transfer to a small saucepan and add the broth. Bring to a simmer, cover, and cook for 12-15 minutes or until the broth is absorbed and the quinoa is tender.
Chop all of the vegetables (kale, cabbage, carrots, red onion) and add to a large salad bowl along with the cooked (and slightly cooled) quinoa and chickpeas. To make quick work of the kale and cabbage, I just pulse them in my food processor until finely chopped.
Add all of the dressing ingredients to a small mixing bowl and whisk well to combine (or add to a mason jar and shake to combine).
Pour the dressing over the salad and toss well to coat everything in the dressing. Serve!
