Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 2 cups cooked quinoa (I use my rice cooker)
  • 1 cup craisins
  • 1 cup slivered almonds
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh mint
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 2 tbsp finely chopped mint
  • 4 tbsp fresh squeezed orange juice
  • 1 tsp maple syrup ((optional))
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instruction

  • Toss all salads ingredients in a medium bowl. Salt and pepper.
  • In a small bowl whisk dressing ingredients together. Add some orange zest if you want extra orange flavor. Be sure to add salt and pepper to dressing.
  • Pour over salad and toss with a fork. The fork keeps the quinoa fluffy.
