Packed with nutrition and tons of flavor, quinoa has become one of my favorite go-to’s in many side dish and salad recipes. Quinoa, commonly referred to as a superfood, is a whole grain made from edible seeds. It has a high protein content than brown rice or most other whole grains and is gluten free. It’s also incredibly easy to prepare and very inexpensive so naturally, it’s a staple in my kitchen.
I love putting together recipes that feature quinoa mainly because the possibilities are endless. This Apple Cranberry Granola Quinoa Salad is bursting with delicious whole grain flavor and is the perfect complement to any meal.
Enjoy!
