cranberry cilantro quinoa salad ingredients
Directions
Pour the water into a saucepan, and cover with a lid. Bring to a boil over high heat, then pour in the quinoa, recover, and continue to simmer over low heat until the water has been absorbed, 15 to 20 minutes. Scrape into a mixing bowl, and chill in the refrigerator until cold.

Once cold, stir in the red bell pepper, yellow bell pepper, red onion, curry powder, cilantro, lime juice, sliced almonds, carrots, and cranberries. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Chill before serving.
Touch of Salmon
I like to add Salmon or Chicken or even egg to this dish. Other tasty substitutes are using dried cherries or apricots, mint, sweet onion instead of red, tomatoes. I could go on and on.
Just remember to chill the quinoa all the way before adding other ingredients.
Great for all year round. Light and fresh for summertime, and colorful and nutritious all year round.
