water, reduce the heat to low, and simmer 10 to 15 minutes or until all liquid

is absorbed. Drain well and place in a large bowl. Set aside to cool.

> Arrange the asparagus on a light oiled baking pan and drizzle with 1

tablespoon of the olive oil. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Roast until

tender, about 10 minutes.

pepper. Add the white beans, roasted pepper, celery, and scallions, along with

the roasted asparagus and cooked quinoa. Toss gently to combine. Serve on salad

greens garnished with parsley. Serves 4.
