This is an awesome, CLEAN, yummy recipe from Dr. Alejandro Junger's book called Clean: The Revolutionary Program to Restore the Body's Natural Ability to Heal Itself. It's a great book, I just wish it had a longer title or something. This recipe serves 2, but is easily doubled or even tripled. The quinoa salad is great leftover, I like to have a bowl of it in the fridge for a snack or lunch.
2 c. cooked and cooled quinoa
2 (4-ounce) chicken breasts, grilled or steamed and thinly slices
1/4 c currants
1/4 c chopped raw almonds
1/2 c diced carrots
1/4 c chopped mint
1/4 c scallions, cut thinly diagonally
1/4 c chopped parsley
1/4 c lime juice
1 tsp agave nectar
1/2 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp sea salt
1/2 c olive oil
4 cups salad greens tossed with 2 TBS olive oil
1. Grill chicken breasts
2. Put all ingredients except chicken and salad greens in a bowl, and toss together with quinoa. Adjust seasoning to taste. (If you don't have time to chop all that stuff, just throw it in a food processor, and voila!)
3. Serve chicken over bed of greens with quinoa salad on top or on the side.
