QUINOA SALAD:
ingredients:
1 cup quinoa
3 medium tomatoes (chopped)
¼ cup red onion (finely chopped)
3-5 garlic cloves (minced)
½ inch ginger (minced)
1 cucumber (chopped)
1/3 yellow pepper (chopped)
1 carrot (thinly sliced)
¼ cup parsley or cilantro (chopped)
3 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
2-3 Tbsp olive oil
2 Tbsp lemon juice
Salt (to taste)
Directions:
Add 1 cup quinoa to 2 cups water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer 10-15 minutes (I find it usually takes about 15 minutes). Place cooked quinoa in bowl and let cool—doesn’t have to cool completely—by the time you get your other ingredients prepped, the quinoa will be cool enough. Add vinegar, olive oil, salt, and stir well. Add onion, ginger, and garlic. I usually chop the onion fine and MINCE the garlic and ginger VERY WELL. The raw garlic and ginger adds lots of flavor and nutrition. Give the bowl a good stir and get these ingredients mixed thoroughly. Add yellow pepper (red pepper is fine, but yellow makes a nice color contrast), cucumber, carrot. Sometimes I also add green onions—or even diced jalapenos if I’m looking for a little kick—feel free to experiment with any vegetables you enjoy in a raw state. Mix ingredients and then add the tomatoes. I like to add the tomatoes last so they don’t get too beat up by the spoon. If you’ve got some parsley or cilantro on hand, throw that in as well—I make sure I’ve got some cilantro on hand when I’m making this dish. A bit of lemon juice is a nice finish and will also help keep the colors of the dish vibrant. Bon Appétit!

ginger has no soul lol
Chef Buck, love your down-to-earth cooking lessons. The only other chef I know that teaches this way is Emeril. And, as he says, "This ain't rocket science, ya know. All ya gotta do it make it taste good." Thanks.
I discovered your videos and your channel today and I was very impressed with your recipes. I got many great ideas from you. They are wonderful and I'll try them for sure. And at the same time I was entertained by your performance , you are very funny and I laughed a lot. Thank you Buck! You made my day…
I really enjoyed your video ( as well as your recipe)…was pleasantly surprised to hear a "bell" ring when flavor punch was mentioned and just laughed my head off…Love your tone of voice also…would totally date chefbuck ( ding ding) xx
New standard for all my dishes: Would Van Gogh eat this?
yeahh… looks delicious….
I had never even heard of quinoa until YouTube. Does is taste like rice or pasta or neither?
throw some chicken in it?
This is a great "gargantuous" and "luxuriated" quinoa recipe!
I will get brave and make enough to keep, using lemon since the power of suggestion here works!
Quinoa was not blamed.
Hilarious and looks delicious!
You are funny man
Depending on where/brand you buy, you must remember to wash quinoa thoroughly. It has a bitter coating that doesn't taste so good (you may have mentioned this already). I just cooked some red quinoa (Ancient Harvest) which is absolutely delicious – put green onion, parsley, jalapeno, lemon zest and juice, cabbage salad mix (w/cilantro) and tomatoes out of my garden. My red quinoa cooked up perfectly in my rice cooker. I could live on quinoa – so healthy, delicious and versatile. Thank you for all your quinoa recipes, Buck!
Hahahaha i love listening to your videoos so funny and love your recipies chef
Perfect
Thank you for the recipe ;)
I tried quinoa by itself 6 months ago and it tastes like absolute C R A P!!!
I still have a box left in the pantry so I will surely try this recipe. Thanks.
You are frickin HILARIOUS!!!!!
