I have made this salad a few times and it's always well received. DW says: "This is really good."
I found the recipe at <reciperunner.com/cranberry-apple-quinoa-salad/>
Cranberry Apple Quinoa Salad
This Cranberry Apple Quinoa Salad is full of crunchy texture and pops of sweetness from the apple and dried cranberries!
Salad
1 cup uncooked quinoa
1/2 cup diced celery
2 green onions, sliced
1 cup diced apple
1/3 cup toasted pecans, chopped
1/3 cup dried cranberries
Vinaigrette
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 teaspoons dijon mustard
1/4 teaspoon granulated garlic
Kosher salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste
Cook the quinoa according to the package instructions adding a little salt to the water. Once the quinoa is cooked let it cool to room temperature.
While the quinoa cools add all of the vinaigrette ingredients to a small bowl or jar with a lid. Whisk or shake until combined.
Once the quinoa has cooled pour it into a serving bowl along with the remaining salad ingredients. Season with salt and pepper. Pour the vinaigrette over the salad and stir everything together until combined. Taste for seasoning, then serve or refrigerate until ready to serve.
