Quinoa is a whole-grain that can be used in place of rice in many recipes. It is higher in protein than other grains and is also a good source of fiber.
Ingredients
2 cups fat-free, reduced-sodium chicken broth
1 cup quinoa
1/2 cup dried cranberries
3 Tbsp pine nuts, toasted
1 tsp parsley, dried
Dressing
2 Tbsp balsamic vinegar
1/2 tsp dijon mustard
1 clove garlic, minced
3 Tbsp olive oil
1/4 tsp ground black pepper.
Instructions
Heat the chicken broth in a pot over medium-high heat and bring it to a boil. Stir in the quinoa; cover and reduce heat to simmer for 15 minutes. Add the cranberries; cover and cook for 5 more minutes.
Turn off the heat and let the quinoa stand for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork.
While the quinoa is cooking; whisk together the dressing ingredients.
Pour the dressing over the cooked quinoa. Add the toasted pine nuts and mix well. Pour the quinoa into a serving bowl and sprinkle with dried parsley. Serve warm or cold.
