Roasted Jalapeno Quinoa Salad

Quinoa is one of my new favorites... This turned out to be really yummy. The longer this salad can sit in the fridge, the better....

Roasted Jalapeno Quinoa Salad

5 jalapenos. roughly chopped
1/4 cup plus 1 tsp. olive oil
Salt
1 cup quinoa, rinsed well
2 cups vegetable broth
1/4 cup lime juice
4 green onions, white & light green parts, thinly sliced
1/4 cup chopped fresh flat leaf parsley

Put quinoa and broth into a medium sauce pan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer, cover and cook until all liquid is absorbed, 20 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl to cool.

Meanwhile, preheat oven to 400 F. In a bowl, toss chopped jalapenos with 1 tsp. olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Transfer to a baking sheet and roast until soft and slight blackened, 20 minutes. Set aside to cool.

Whisk together lime juice, salt & 1/4 cup olive oil. Pour dressing over quinoa, add jalapenos, green onions and parsley and toss gently to combine.

Let chill for at least an hour and up to 24 hours.
