Recipes:
1 cup quinoa, rinsed
2 cups water or vegetable broth
1 medium apple, diced
1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
1/4 cup chopped walnuts or pecans
1/4 cup dried cranberries
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Lemon Thyme Dressing:
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves (or 1/2 teaspoon dried)
Salt and black pepper to taste
Directions:
In a medium saucepan, bring water or vegetable broth to a boil. Add quinoa, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 12-15 minutes or until quinoa is fluffy
and liquid is absorbed.
While the quinoa is cooking, prepare the dressing by whisking together olive oil, lemon juice, honey, Dijon mustard, thyme, salt, and black pepper in a small
bowl.
Once the quinoa is cooked, transfer it to a large bowl and let it cool slightly.
Add the diced apple, feta cheese, chopped nuts, dried cranberries, and parsley to the quinoa. Drizzle with the lemon thyme dressing and toss gently to combine.
Serve warm or at room temperature.
