Instructions Winter quinoa salad with beans and turmeric

  • Rinse the quinoa under cold running water for a couple of minutes. In a pan, bring the broth to the boiling point, add powdered turmeric, garlic, salt and finally rinsed quinoa. Stir and lower the heat. Cook over medium-low heat for 15 minutes or until the quinoa is cooked and has absorbed all the liquid. Turn off the heat, cover the pan with the lid and let it rest for 5 minutes. After this time, mix the quinoa with a fork and let it cool.
  • Once the quinoa is cold, add olive oil, vinegar and mix. Now add chopped parsley and mint, rinsed canned beans and diced almonds and cranberries. Mix well and serve.
