Ready for a fiesta? Here’s how to make it healthy! This nutritious Fiesta Quinoa Salad is fun, colorful and, most importantly, delicious. The first time I made this my husband was sure he was going to hate it. As it turns out, it is one of his favorite recipes!
In a large bowl combine quinoa, corn, red pepper, carrots, scallions, cranberries, cilantro and 2 tablespoons of red onion.
In your blender combine soy sauce, lemon juice, olive oil, remaining red onion, garlic, smoked paprika and dried chipotle powder. Season to taste with salt and pepper and process until smooth.
Toss quinoa mixture with the desired amount of dressing. Top with almonds and pumpkin seeds
