Cranberry-Apple Quinoa Salad

Yesterday I shared my weekly meal prep,...which worked last night so fingers crossed that I can keep it up,...but neglected to share the recipe for the quinoa.  A sweet friend shared the weight watchers recipe several years ago when I was a little unsure of the whole quinoa revolution.  I enjoy the salad cold, and it only gets better after the first day, which makes it the perfect addition to lunches packed in advance.

Cranberry-Apple Quinoa Salad
Ingredients:

• 1 cup quinoa, rinsed
• 2 cups chicken broth
• 1 Granny Smith apple, diced
• 1/4 cup dried cranberries
• 3 scallions, chopped
• 3 T citrus vinaigrette dressing
• 2 T toasted walnuts, chopped

Directions:

• Combine quinoa and broth in saucepan and bring to a boil.  Reduce heat and simmer, covered, until quinoa is tender.  About 10 minutes.  Drain if needed.
• After allowing quinoa to cool slightly add remaining ingredients, tossing well to coat.  

Happy Cooking!
