      Low Potassium Low Protein Dairy-Free Egg-Free Nut-Free Asian Seafood Dinner Salad

      Toasted Quinoa Salad with Scallops & Snow Peas

      Low Potassium Low Protein Dairy-Free Egg-Free Nut-Free Asian Seafood Dinner Salad
      6 servings, about 1 cup each
      Prep time: 50 minutes
      Total time: 50 minutes

      Description

      This scallop-studded quinoa salad gets an exciting texture from crunchy snow peas, red bell pepper and scallions. Feel free to substitute shrimp or thin slices of chicken for the scallops.

      Directions

      1. Toss scallops with 2 teaspoons tamari (or soy sauce) in a medium bowl. Set aside.
      2. Place a large, high-sided skillet with a tight-fitting lid over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon canola oil and quinoa. Cook, stirring constantly, until the quinoa begins to color, 6 to 8 minutes. Add garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute more. Add water and salt and bring to a boil. Stir once, cover and cook over medium heat until the water is absorbed, about 15 minutes. (Do not stir.) Remove from the heat and let stand, covered, for 5 minutes. Stir in snow peas, cover and let stand for 5 minutes more.
      3. Meanwhile, whisk 3 tablespoons canola oil, the remaining 2 teaspoons tamari (or soy sauce), vinegar and sesame oil in a large bowl. Add the quinoa and snow peas, scallions and bell pepper; toss to combine.
      4. Remove the scallops from the marinade and pat dry. Heat a large skillet over medium-high until hot enough to evaporate a drop of water upon contact. Add the remaining 2 teaspoons canola oil and cook the scallops, turning once, until golden and just firm, about 2 minutes total. Gently stir the scallops into the quinoa salad. Serve garnished with cilantro, if desired.

      Tips

      • Tip: Look for “dry” sea scallops. “Wet” scallops, which have been treated with sodium tripolyphosphate (STP), but will not brown properly. Some scallops have a small white muscle on the side; remove it before cooking.
      • Tip: People with celiac disease or gluten-sensitivity should use soy sauces that are labeled "gluten-free," as soy sauce may contain wheat or other gluten-containing sweeteners and flavors.
