     Quinoa and Cranberry Salad

Category   Salads - Soups - Sidedishes
Sub Category   None

Ingredients
1 c. red quinoa
1 1/2 c. water
1/2 c. dried cranberries
1 red bell pepper, diced small
1 large cucumber, peeled, seeded, and diced small
1/4 medium red onion, very thinly sliced
1/2 c. sliced almonds
2 heads butter lettuce, torn into large squares
.
 
2 medium-size ripe heirloom tomatoes, chopped
1 large garlic cloves, crushed
1 Tbl. Dijon mustard
1 Tbl. red wine vinegar
4 Tbl. olive oil
Kosher salt and fresh ground pepper

Instructions
Place the last five ingredients in a blender or food processor and puree until smooth. Season the dressing to taste with salt and pepper. Use immediately or refrigerate.
Rinse the quinoa and put it in a small soup pot. Add the water to the quinoa and bring to a gentle boil, cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer until the quinoa is fully cooked and the water has been absorbed. Fluff the quinoa with a fork and transfer it to a large plate or platter, spreading it out to help it cool quickly. Refrigerate until cold. When the quinoa is cold, toss it in a large bowl with the next 6 ingredients and dress it with the vinaigrette. Season with salt and pepper as needed.
