Directions
To quick pickle the Hatch chile
- Bring the sugar, vinegar and water to a boil in a small saucepan.
- While the mixture is heating, place the scape, mustard seeds, and bay leaf into a small (preferably glass) container.
- Once the liquid has come to a boil, pour it over the chiles, and let cool before lidding, and placing in the fridge for a few hours to pickle.
To make the salad
- In a large bowl, whisk the mustard and vinegar along with the salt and pepper, and while whisking, add the oil in a slow drizzle.
- To your dressing, add your quinoa and give it a toss, coating it in the vinaigrette.
- Next, add your radishes, pickled chiles (drained from pickling juice), and half of your sunflower microgreens. Toss again, and season to taste.
- Top your salad with the remaining sunflower microgreens and serve.
**This salad will keep unrefrigerated for a few hours, making it ideal for picnics; It also keeps well in the fridge and should be used within 2 days.
