This salad uses quinoa, which gives a nice texture and mild nutty flavor to the dish. Best served chilled, this salad is wonderful for picnics.

Ingredients

1 cup quinoa
2 cups water
1 (15 ounce) can garbanzo beans, drained
½ cup dried cranberries
½ cup golden raisins
⅓ cup sliced almonds
¼ cup mint leaves, chopped
¾ teaspoon ground coriander
¼ teaspoon ground cumin
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
salt and pepper to taste

Directions

Bring the quinoa and water to a boil in a saucepan over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the quinoa is tender, and the water has been absorbed, 15 to 20 minutes. Scrape the quinoa into a large bowl, and refrigerate until cold.
Stir the garbanzo beans, cranberries, raisins, almonds, mint, coriander, cumin, and olive oil into the quinoa. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
