Spoonacular is a recipe search engine that sources recipes from across the web. We do our best to find recipes suitable for many diets — whether vegetarian, vegan, gluten free, dairy free, etc. — but we cannot guarantee that a recipe's ingredients are safe for your diet. Always read ingredient lists from the original source (follow the link from the "Instructions" field) in case an ingredient has been incorrectly extracted from the original source or has been labeled incorrectly in any way. Moreover, it is important that you always read the labels on every product you buy to see if the product could cause an allergic reaction or if it conflicts with your personal or religious beliefs. If you are still not sure after reading the label, contact the manufacturer.

We also attempt to estimate the cost and calculate the nutritional information for the recipes found on our site. Again, we cannot guarantee the accuracy of this information. Additionally, our nutrition visualizer that suggests that you limit sodium, sugar, etc., and get enough protein, vitamins, and minerals is not intended as medical advice. Similarly, our health tips are based on articles we have read from various sources across the web, and are not based on any medical training. The team behind spoonacular does not possess any medical qualifications and the information may be found to be incorrect or out of date based on future research.

Salad can be paired with Chardonnay, Alcoholic Drink, and White Wine. Sauvignon Blanc and Gruner Veltliner both have herby notes that complement salads with enough acid to match tart vinaigrettes, while a Chardonnay can be a good pick for creamy salad dressings. One wine you could try is Buena Vista Carneros Chardonnay. It has 4.7 out of 5 stars and a bottle costs about 25 dollars.

Buena Vista Carneros Chardonnay

There's no doubt about the appellation here. The aromas are a combination of lemon drop, green apple, orange blossom, clove, hazelnut screaming Carneros from start to finish. The flavors are lemon lime, apple, pear fruit driven with racy acidity and rich lemon cream and subtle vanilla/spice, which adds more texture. Our 2004 Carneros Chardonnay beautifully conveys site, variety and vintage.

Instructions

  1. Put the quinoa in a sieve and rinse under running water. Drain.
  2. Pour the boiling water over quinoa in a medium saucepan.
  3. Add salt, stir well and cook over medium-low heat until quinoa is cooked through but still has a bite in the center. Drain in a sieve.
  4. Pick over the barberries, rinse in a sieve and dry on kitchen paper.
  5. While the quinoa is cooking, heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a saucepan over medium heat and lightly toast the almond slivers. Add the slivered pistachios, then the rest of the oil and the rinsed barberries. Cook briefly until the barberries are shiny and a little puffed.
  6. Save a tablespoon of the barberry and nut mix and a tablespoon of the chopped herbs for garnishing the finished dish.
  7. Mix all of the remaining nut and barberry mix, herbs and quinoa.
  8. Return to the pot and place on low heat. Cover with a lid and cook for ten minutes or until completely heated through and steam is rising.
  9. Turn into a serving dish and fluff with a fork.
  10. Add a little extra olive oil and a twist of black pepper if you wish.
  11. Sprinkle the quinoa with the rest of the berry-nut mix and chopped herbs and serve on its own as a main dish or as a side dish.
