Quinoa And Hazelnut Salad
- Vinaigrette:
- 1/4 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 green onions, sliced
- 4 teaspoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
- 1/4 teaspoon fennel seed
- salt to taste
- 3 cups water
- 1 1/2 cups quinoa, rinsed and drained
- 1/2 cup hazelnuts
- 5 tablespoons sweetened dried cranberries
- 1 apple, cored and chopped
- Blend orange juice, olive oil, green onion, lemon juice, chives, cilantro, parsley, balsamic vinegar, fennel seed, and salt together in a blender until dressing is smooth.
- Bring water and quinoa to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until quinoa is tender and water is absorbed, about 15 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spread hazelnuts out on a baking sheet.
- Roast hazelnuts in the preheated oven until toasted and fragrant, 7 to 10 minutes. Pour nuts onto a clean towel and rub to remove skins; roughly chop hazelnuts and discard skins.
- Combine quinoa and cranberries in a large bowl; pour dressing over the top and toss to coat. Stir apple and hazelnuts into quinoa mixture just before serving. Season with salt.
