As we are approaching the holiday season, so is everyone’s stress and anxiety over holiday meal and that’s where this Curried Quinoa Salad with Cranberries is such a lifesaver. We love a good quinoa salad or quinoa salad with cranberries but this curried version literally took our taste buds for a happy ride. It’s filled with light, warm curry flavors along with crunchy-slightly sauteed veggies like onions, carrots, peas and topped with fresh cilantro and lime juice. A perfect mix of warm, crunchy flavors with a hint of sweetness from the dried cranberries.
Ingredients for Curried Quinoa Salad with Cranberries Recipe:
Cooked Quinoa Curry Powder Dried Cranberries – I’m using Ocean Spray® Craisins® Dried Cranberries Veggies: onions, carrots, peas, cauliflower, zucchini, etc Dry Coconut Flakes Seasoning: salt, red chili powder, turmeric Lime Juice & Fresh Cilantro – for garnish
To make this salad even simpler, apart from the first 3 ingredients, you can swap/use any other ingredients as per choice. You can even add more nuts to it.
How to Make Curried Quinoa Salad with Cranberries:
Now, to add a little twist to our salad, we are sauteeing the vegetables ever so lightly with the curry powder and seasoning. This enhances the flavors even more !!! Other than the 2 minutes of cooking, the recipe is mostly cut and mix. That’s exactly how simple this recipe is and it adds so much charm to the dinner menu along with deliciousness.
What to Serve with Curried Quinoa Salad with Cranberries: You can serve this salad as is or you can pair it with – Meat Cooked Lentil Curries Wraps Burgers Big Bowl of Sauteed Veggies
How to Store Curried Quinoa Salad:
The salad is fairly easy to store and can actually be made a day in advance (if need be). One thing I would recommend with this or any other salad, always keep the grains separate from veggies/fruits. That’s because the veggies/fruits leave the water after being cut and you don’t want to end up with a watery salad. Hence always packs them separately.
