Ingredients

6 oz baby spinach

16 fl oz vegetable broth

1/4 cup fresh parsley

2 large Portobello mushroom caps

1 clove garlic

1 lemon

1/3 cup walnuts

1 cup quinoa

1/4 tsp black pepper

1 tsp honey

1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil

1/4 tsp salt

Method

In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup quinoa and 16 fl oz vegetable broth; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let stand, covered, for 5 minutes.

Peel and mince 1 clove garlic. Wash and chop 1/4 cup fresh parsley.

In a small bowl, prepare dressing by whisking together the minced garlic, chopped parsley, juice of 1 lemon, 1/4 cup olive oil, 1 tsp honey, 1/4 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper.

Wash and dry 6 oz baby spinach. Transfer to a large bowl.

Heat a skillet over medium heat.

Clean and slice 2 large Portobello mushroom caps.

Coat bottom of skillet with a thin layer of olive oil. Add 1/3 cup walnuts and cook, stirring constantly, until toasted, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a plate and set aside to cool.

Return skillet to stove and add a bit more oil if needed. Add sliced Portobello mushrooms and season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms are tender and browned, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat.

Uncover quinoa and fluff with a fork. Add cooked quinoa, sautéed mushrooms, and toasted walnuts to the bowl with spinach. Toss to combine.

Drizzle the lemon-herb dressing over the salad and toss again to coat everything nicely.

Divide the salad among plates to serve. Enjoy your healthy and delicious meal!
