Ingredients
- 1/4 cup slivered almonds 1/2 cup (3 ounces) quinoa 4 teaspoons olive oil 1 yellow bell pepper, ribs and seeds discarded, cut into 1/2-inch chunks 2 garlic cloves, minced 2 scallions, thinly sliced 1/8 teaspoon red-pepper flakes 1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme, plus more for garnish (optional) 1/4 teaspoon coarse salt 1 medium zucchini, halved lengthwise and sliced 1/2-inch thick 1 large celery stalk, diced 1 lime, halved
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Toast almonds until crisp, lightly browned, and fragrant, about 7 minutes. Remove from oven and set aside. Meanwhile, place quinoa in a fine sieve and rinse under cold running water until the water runs clear; drain well.
In a medium saucepan, heat 2 teaspoons olive oil over medium heat. Add yellow pepper, garlic, scallions, and red-pepper flakes; cook until the pepper is crisp-tender, about 5 minutes.
Stir in quinoa, thyme, 1 cup water, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook 7 minutes. Stir in zucchini, cover, and cook until quinoa is tender but not mushy, 5 to 8 minutes longer. Remove the saucepan from heat.
Stir in celery, almonds, and remaining 2 teaspoons oil, season with salt, and fluff with a fork. Cool to room temperature before packing into 2 containers and refrigerating. When ready to eat, squeeze lime over salad, if desired. Serve with additional lime wedge and thyme, if desired.

Martha Stewart Member Rating: 4.0 stars 08/24/2020 I was skeptical about adding cold celery to this one, but it was delicious! This recipe takes a little more prep time with dicing and mincing than I'd like. Martha Stewart Member Rating: Unrated 03/20/2014 A grain is a seed! Might want to correct that on the page/website. I love quinoa and thought this was delicious! Martha Stewart Member Rating: Unrated 01/23/2013 Turned out really well, Didn't have peppers though. We used Thai corriander and lime dressing as we had no fresh limes. i will definately make it again! Martha Stewart Member Rating: Unrated 07/31/2012 This was delicious! I added julienned carrots and sliced zucchini, cilantro and used vegetarian chicken broth. My family ate it up fast. Martha Stewart Member Rating: Unrated 01/22/2012 This was delicious! I took another reviewer's recommendation and used less water than indicated - this was a good idea, because even so there was a little water at the bottom. I also did not add the extra oil at the end. Other than that, I followed the recipe exactly, and it was a huge hit!Martha Stewart Member
