This is one of my favourite dishes, so I'm overjoyed when fresh lemongrass comes into our produce department. My recipe is basically from scratch, but the flavour is worth it, and a food processor makes prep easy.
I served this salad with grilled shrimp tossed with olive oil and chipotle chili powder. Both my husband and I loved this meal; the salad was fabulous, full of zippy flavour.
This recipe also includes my tips for cooking quinoa, which I've perfected through trial and error. The combination of flavours in this salad are simple but fresh-tasting. It makes a great summer side dish, picnic item, and a yummy lunch.
For me, roasted Edamame are the perfect salty snack! They're crunchy on the outside and nutty, slightly softer on the inside. Choosing my favourite spices to roast them in makes them irresistible!
