[quote=Anonymous]I had this insanely delicious, insanely healthy salad at a friend's house and demanded the recipe.  It's from an Atlanta chef who goes by "Souper Jenny."  I use the apricot jam.  You have to try it.  I find quinoa kind of a pain to cook (I hate the rinsing) but will happily do it to make this salad.  The combination of ingredients make it sound weird, but honestly this is my new favorite food ever.

Recipe: Super healthy red quinoa with sundried cherries, kale, edamame, and ginger vinaigrette 
"Souper Jenny Does Salads"

1/2 shallot , peeled 
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil

Salad 
2 cups red quinoa 
4 cups water 
2 cups Lacinto kale, leaves removed from ribs, julienned 
1 cup shelled, cooked edamame 
1 cup dried cherries 
1/2 cup scallions, chopped 
1 cup toasted slivered almonds 
Preparation
To make the vinaigrette, put vinegar, jam, ginger and shallot in a blender and whirl, slowly adding oil. Salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.

For the salad, bring 4 cups of water and 2 cups quinoa to a boil. Cover, reduce heat to low and simmer for about 15 minutes. Check quinoa. It should be firm, but cooked through. Drain and set aside to cool.
