Quinoa Apple Salad

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups vegetable broth
  • 3/4 cup tricolor quinoa, (rinsed)
  • 1/2 cup dried cranberries
  • 1 gala apple, (diced into 1/4 inch cubes)
  • 1/4 cup celery, (diced into 1/4 inch cubes)
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, (chopped)
  • 1/4 cup candied walnuts
  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 garlic clove, (minced)
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Bring the vegetable broth and rinsed quinoa to a boil in a medium-sized saucepan. Add the cranberries, cover, and remove from heat. Let stand for 15 minutes, then fluff with a fork. Transfer to a large salad bowl.
  2. While the quinoa is cooking, whisk together the olive oil, maple syrup, dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, minced garlic, ground allspice, salt, and pepper.
  3. In the bowl with the quinoa, mix in the maple dijon vinaigrette. Then mix in the diced apple, celery, parsley, and candied walnuts. Serve hot, room temperature, or cold. I love to serve it with Air Fryer Tofu or Air Fryer Chicken!
