Summer Smoked Ham and Quinoa Salad

1. 1

   RINSE the quinoa well, at least three times.

2. 2

   COOK the quinoa, covered, in two cups of water, as if you were cooking rice (in other words, bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, and until all liquid is gone, about 20 minutes).

3. 3

   While the quinoa is cooking, rinse, peel, and dice the other vegetables.

4. 4

   In a large frying pan, without any oil or fat, saute the slices of ham one or two at a time (depending on how large your pan is; you want them to lay flat and become brown and crispy).

5. 5

   After all the ham is frizzled, stack the slices on a cutting board and dice the ham.

6. 6

   When the quinoa is cooked, place it in a large bowl to cool, and add the diced ingredients and toss.

7. 7

   Dress with olive oil and vinegar, and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
