1 cup | Quinoa |
1 can | (14 1/2 Oz.) Chicken Broth Plus Enough Water To Equal 2 Cups |
2 tablespoons | Extra-virgin olive oil |
½ cup | Chopped onion |
1 teaspoon | Chopped garlic |

1. Toast quinoa, stirring, in nonstick skillet over medium-low heat, 5 minutes. Bring broth and water to boil in medium saucepan; stir in quinoa.
Reduce heat to medium-low; cover and simmer 12 to 15 minutes until liquid is absorbed and quinoa is tender. Fluff with fork and transfer to large bowl; cover and keep warm.
2. Heat oil in large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and garlic; cook 3 minutes. Stir in broccoli rabe, salt and red pepper. Cook until broccoli rabe is tender, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir vegetables into quinoa.
Serve warm or at room temperature.

The slightly nutty flavor of quinoa blends perfectly with pungent broccoli rabe, garlic and red pepper flakes in this quick and easy salad. Toasting the grain in a skillet until fragrant enhances its delicate taste.
