CRANBERRY APPLE PECAN QUINOA SALAD
A beautiful and light take on a fall salad. The tastes mix well together and it can be served hot or cold. I like to pair it with Dijon-crusted salmon!

Steps:
- Stir chicken broth and quinoa together in a saucepan; bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, place cover on the saucepan, and cook until the broth is absorbed, about 10 minutes. Remove saucepan from heat and fluff with a fork.
- Whisk olive oil, Dijon mustard, maple syrup, and cinnamon together in a bowl; season with salt and pepper. Drizzle sauce over the quinoa; stir. Add apple pieces, pecan pieces, cranberries, and Parmesan cheese; stir. Return cover to the saucepan and let the mixture steam until the sauce warms and the apples soften slightly, 5 to 10 minutes.

[email protected]This salad was a bit too tart for my taste, but I think that's because I used Granny Smith apples. Next time, I'll try using a sweeter variety of apple.

[email protected]This salad was just okay. The flavors were nice, but the quinoa was a bit too chewy for my taste. I might try making it again with rice instead of quinoa.

[email protected]This salad was a disappointment. The cranberries were too tart, and the apples were too mushy. The quinoa was also bland. I won't be making this again.
