Quinoa Salad with Hazelnuts, Apple, and Dried CranberriesPT85Mhttps://img2.recipesrun.com/201907/2019/1211/e0/c/513240/300x200x90.jpg While pregnant with my little girl, I was on a quest to find a great quinoa salad; after much tinkering, I came up with this. I love this salad because I usually have every ingredient on hand. If I don't have hazelnuts, I add almonds instead. No apples? Pears! No cranberries? Raisins! It's a fairly forgiving and flexible recipe. I recommend using good quality dried cranberries. Craisins work but they tend to turn the salad a pinkish hue after a few hours, and I find they're too sweet.4 servings
