Found this and thought I would share since quinoa seems to be becoming so popular. This make-ahead salad (served warm or room temperature) is great for outdoor parties since it won’t spoil in the sun.
Ingredients
- 2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 cup quinoa
- 1 large lemon, zested and juiced
- ½ cup roasted red peppers, drained and diced
- ¼ cup dried cranberries
- 2 tablespoons minced red onion
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
Directions
Step 1
Bring chicken broth and quinoa to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until quinoa is tender and broth has been absorbed, 15 to 20 minutes.
Step 2
Stir quinoa, lemon zest, and lemon juice together in a bowl. Add red peppers, cranberries, onion, and basil to quinoa; toss to combine.
