1 cup quinoa, rinsed and drained
1 bunch broccoli raab, chopped
2 Tbs lemon juice
1 Tbs balsamic vinegar
2 Tbs olive oil
1/4 cup chopped parsley
1/4 cup chopped roasted pistachios
1) Bring 2 cups water to a boil in a large saucepan. Add quinoa, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer, covered, 8 minutes. Add broccoli raab and 1/2 cup water; cover, and cook 8 minutes more, or until broccoli raab is tender. Remove from heat and let stand 5 minutes. Drain any excess water, then transfer quinoa and broccoli raab to a large serving bowl.
2) Whisk together lemon juice and vinegar in a small bowl. Whisk in oil until blended. Stir dressing into quinoa mixture along with the parsley. Season with salt and pepper if desired. Sprinkle with pistachios.
Review: I feel like I've made a lot of broccoli raab in recent weeks, but it's just so tasty. I love the bitterness of it. The acidic dressing helped balance this, with the salty sweetness of the pistachios finishing it off. It was good, but not so great that I'd make it again.
