There's no better ancient grain than quinoa to make a wholesome summer salad. It's delicious paired with cranberry raisins and lime juice.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup tri-color organic quinoa
- 2 cups water
- 1/4 cup sunflower oil
- 4 tablespoons lime juice
- 1/4 cup dried cranberries
Directions
- Step 1 Rinse quinoa in a fine strainer under running water.
- Step 2 In a medium saucepan, bring water to a boil with a dash of salt. Covering the pan brings it to a boil faster.
- Step 3 Add quinoa and reduce to simmer.
- Step 4 Cover and cook quinoa on low heat 12-15 minutes. The grain will be translucent and the germ will spiral out from each grain.
- Step 5 Set aside and let cool.
- Step 6 In a bowl, add cranberries to sunflower oil and lime juice mixture. Add in quinoa and toss.
