dating life updates: talking matchmakers, dealbreakers and where to meet partners (spoiler alert: I do not know) also here’s what I made: Lemony Quinoa & Rice Salad with Asparagus, Peas & Basil Ingredients 1 cup cooked quinoa & rice blend (microwaved or prepared on the stove) 1 1⁄2 cups water (if cooking from scratch) 1 bunch asparagus, chopped into pieces, woody ends removed 2 cups peas 1⁄2 cup fresh dill, chopped 1⁄2 cup parsley, chopped 1⁄2 cup fresh basil, chopped 1⁄4 cup toasted almonds (or pistachios), roughly chopped 1⁄2 cup thinly sliced sugar snap peas or shaved fennel 1 lemon, zested and juiced 1⁄3 cup olive oil Salt and pepper to taste 1⁄4 teaspoon Aleppo pepper or chili flakes (optional) 1⁄4 cup shaved Parmesan Instructions If using uncooked quinoa and rice, rinse well and cook according to package directions. Fluff and set aside. Boil asparagus and peas for 2-3 minutes until just tender. Drain and immediately blanch in ice water to keep them vibrant. In a large bowl, combine the cooked quinoa-rice mix, blanched veggies, fresh herbs, sugar snap peas or fennel, and toasted nuts. In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, salt, pepper, and optional Aleppo pepper. Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss to combine. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Plate and finish with extra nuts, lemon zest, and shaved Parmesan. Enjoy! #healthyrecipes #healthydinner #datingstorytime #datingapps #foryou
