Before preparing the artichokes, rub half a lemon on your hands to prevent them from turning black. Take the artichokes, remove the stem and outer leaves, cut them in half, and use a spoon to remove the fuzzy center. Then cut them into wedges and place them in a container with half a lemon to prevent browning.

Slice the leek and place it in a pan with the oil. Sauté over high heat for a few minutes, then add the artichokes, garlic, and salt. Cook for about 10 minutes or until the artichokes are tender. Add a little water if necessary.

Finally, add the parsley and peppercorns. If desired, add coarsely chopped walnuts.

Many years ago, Gordon Ramsey’s Hell’s Kitchen restaurant in Las Vegas had a red quinoa salad on the menu that was extremely similar to this. We loved it so much, that I tracked down a recipe online after we returned from our vacation. The restaurant currently has a different quinoa salad on their menu, but I’m so glad I have this recipe. It’s so delicious and is a great meal or side dish option in the Fall.#GlobalApron - Week 27: Apple#Healthy #SideDish #Vegetarian

There is nothing I like more in the hot summer than cold salads. Quinoa is so versatile and great for you. Feel free to experiment this is my basic recipe. The vinegar that really sends this recipe to a whole other level of flavorful goodness is white balsamic! Once you try white balsamic you'll never want to use any other vinegar. 😀

Quinoa with Oranges, Walnuts & Dried Fruit Quinoa with Oranges, Walnuts & Dried Fruit
I love quinoa and often eat it instead of rice or bread Quinoa is said to have the highest nutritional value among all grains. I've been experimenting with all kinds of ways to eat it. This is my own arrangement of a salad I often see at organic food stores.Follow the directions on the package for the cooking time and amount of water needed to cook the quinoa. Adjust the amount of cayenne pepper to your liking. If you leave it overnight in the fridge, the flavor really soaks in. Recipe by dreamy-kitten
