Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 4 servings

  • 2 cups vegetable broth

  • 1 cup quinoa

  • 1 ½ cups thinly sliced purple cabbage

  • 1 cup chopped carrots

  • 1 cup frozen shelled edamame (green soybeans)

  2. Mix cabbage, carrots, edamame, and green onions together in a large bowl.

  3. Whisk vinegar, oil, Sriracha sauce, soy sauce, ginger, sugar, and mustard together in a bowl until dressing is smooth; drizzle over cabbage mixture. Stir quinoa into salad and toss to coat. Refrigerate until chilled, at least 30 minutes.
