French Fridays with Dorie: Quinoa, Fruit, and Nut Salad

      The eighteenth recipe I made for French Fridays with Dorie, from Dorie Greenspan's Around My French Table cookbook, was Quinoa, Fruit, and Nut Salad, found on page 138.  Easy, delicious, and healthy, what more could you want in a recipe? 

      It all comes together fairly quickly as you can work on gathering up all the other ingredients in the time it takes the quinoa to cook, which is only about 20 minutes.  After it is all assembled it sits at room temperature for an hour to let the flavors come together a bit.  Definitely a repeat. 

      Ingredient list:  quinoa, dried fruit (I used cranberries, apricots, raisins, and golden raisins), nuts/seeds (I used sliced almonds, pine nuts, and sunflower seeds), fresh herbs (I used parsley), freshly squeezed lemon juice, ginger, extra virgin olive oil, salt & pepper, walnut oil, mixed salad greens, and plain yogurt.
