Process

Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results
  1. In a pot, combine the quinoa and water. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to low, cover and simmer for 15 minutes or until the water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let it sit, covered, for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork. Cool.
  2. While the quinoa cooks, preheat your oven to 425°F.
  3. Toast the pine nuts for 2-3 minutes. Cool.
  4. Toss the zucchini with olive oil and salt on a baking sheet. Roast for 20 minutes, stirring halfway through, until golden and tender. Let cool slightly.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk together the preserved lemon, lemon juice, lemon zest, Dijon, honey (if using), and olive oil. Season with freshly ground black pepper and flaky sea salt to taste. Set aside.
  6. In a large bowl, combine arugula, quinoa, roasted zucchini, pomegranate seeds, goat cheese, mint, parsley, and pine nuts.
  7. Drizzle with vinaigrette and toss gently to coat.
  8. Add salt or pepper as needed. Serve immediately or chill briefly for a more composed flavor.
