Step 1

Put the quinoa and water in a pot on the stove. The quinoa to water ratio is 1:2. This means, for every cup of quinoa, you will need 2 cups of cooking liquid.

Step 2

Cook the quinoa for about 15 minutes, or until the water is absorbed.

Step 3

Before preparing the salad, allow the quinoa to cool for 30 minutes.

Step 4

While the quinoa cools, cook your Daring pieces. Heat a frying pan on medium-high heat. Drizzle with 1.5-2 tbsp cooking oil and sear the Daring Original Plant Chicken Pieces for 2-4 minutes per side. They are done when they have a nice golden-brown color to them.

Step 5

Next, clean and chop the carrots, red pepper, and onions, and chop the Daring pieces in halves or quarters.

Step 6

Mix all dressing ingredients together in a large bowl

Step 7

Garnish with cilantro. Will keep in an airtight glass container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
