1 cup cooked quinoa
1/2 cup dried cranberries
1/2 cup dried cherries
1/2 cup raisins
a handful of flaxseeds
a handful of salted sunflower seeds
a handful of slivered almonds
a few tablespoons of your favorite low-fat raspberry vinaigrette (Annies is excellent)
salt/pepper to taste
This is a really easy recipe. All of the ingredients can be adjusted to your own personal taste. Its just something I came up with when I had leftover quinoa from making stuffed peppers. Mix the dried fruit in with the quinoa and then mix in the nuts and seeds. Mix in the vinaigrette -- not too much -- and let it sit in the fridge for a few minutes (30 to 1 hour). Enjoy! I eat this for breakfast a lot.
