Step-by-Step Instructions
- Rinse 1 cup of quinoa under cold water until clear. In a saucepan, combine quinoa with 2 cups of water and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then simmer, cover, and cook for 15 minutes until water is absorbed.
- Prepare vegetables: slice 1 cup of red cabbage, shred 1 large carrot, thinly slice 1 red bell pepper, cook 1 cup of shelled edamame, chop a handful of fresh cilantro, and slice 2 green onions. Combine in a large bowl.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup peanut butter, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 2 tablespoons rice vinegar, and 1 tablespoon honey (or maple syrup). Add 1 teaspoon sesame oil, 1/2 teaspoon ginger, and 1 minced garlic clove. Stir in 1/4 cup water to desired consistency.
- Add cooled quinoa to the bowl with vegetables and toss gently to combine.
- Pour the peanut dressing over the salad and toss to coat evenly.
- Transfer salad to a serving dish and garnish with remaining chopped peanuts and lime wedges.
- Chill for about an hour or serve immediately.

Notes
Rinse quinoa well to remove bitterness. For best texture, add dressing just before serving. Store leftovers in fridge for up to 3 days.
