How to Make Curried Quinoa Salad With Cranberries

  1. Rinse 1 cup of quinoa thoroughly under cold water until the water runs clear.
  2. In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil over high heat.
  3. Stir in the rinsed quinoa.
  4. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes, or until all the water is absorbed and the quinoa is cooked through.
  5. Remove from heat and fluff with a fork. Let cool completely.
  6. In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar, 1 tablespoon honey, 1 tablespoon curry powder, and 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (or to taste).
  7. In a large bowl, combine 1 cup dried cranberries, 1/2 cup chopped red onion, 1/2 cup chopped cilantro, and 1/2 cup chopped pecans (optional).
  8. Gently fold in the cooled quinoa and the prepared soy sauce mixture. Stir until everything is evenly coated.
  9. Serve chilled or at room temperature. Enjoy!
