Lemon Basil Quinoa Salad

Salad

I found this lemon-basil quinoa salad recipe and thought I would share since quinoa seems to be becoming so popular. This make-ahead salad (served warm or room temperature) is great for outdoor parties since it won't spoil in the sun.

Ingredients

2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1 cup quinoa
1 large lemon, zested and juiced
½ cup roasted red peppers, drained and diced
¼ cup dried cranberries
2 tablespoons minced red onion
2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil

Description

Bring chicken broth and quinoa to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until quinoa is tender and broth has been absorbed, 15 to 20 minutes.
Combine quinoa, lemon zest, and lemon juice in a bowl. Stir in red peppers, cranberries, onion, and basil until combined.
