Prepare 1 cup of Quinoa (I use the white not the red for this)(Bring 2 cups of water to a boil, add 1 cup of quinoa, reduce to a simmer, cover and allow to cook 15 minutes. Remove lid and stir, it may need a few more minutes cooking to dry it out - it should be the consistency of rice. Allow to cool about 10 minutes.
To make the dressing mix juice, oil, vinegar (regular works fine but colors the quinoa), mustard, cumin, zest, and salt.
Stir dressing into the quinoa and then add
almonds, cranberries, and orange pieces.
Can be served warm or cold.
