Warm Spinach Cranberry Mint Salad

  • Prep time 10 mins
  • Cook time 15 mins

This is a fantastic salad that is quite original and most likely to please as part of your special holiday dinner or add sliced chicken breast and serve on its own as a complete meal.

Ingredients

  • Salad Dressing:
  • Salad Base:

Directions

  1. In a small pot combine quinoa and water.
  2. Bring to a boil, reduce to low and cover. Cook for 15 minutes. Remove from heat and leave covered for 5 minutes.
  3. Combine salad dressing ingredients in a small pot over medium heat, stirring constantly with a fork or whisk. Once mixture begins to simmer remove from heat immediately – do not bring to a boil as it will splatter.
  4. Combine salad base ingredients in a large salad bowl, including quinoa. Drizzle desired amount of the warm dressing and toss until spinach is evenly coated.

Variations

  • Use walnuts instead of the pecans if you are looking to save a little bit.
  • Don’t like mint? Then substitute with basil instead
  • Try this salad with 1 large apple cut into small pieces instead of the cranberries for a fresh twist
