Simple & Sweet Asian Quinoa Salad

I am always looking for a new recipe to make for lunches to bring to work each day. This one turned out quite well.

Asian Quinoa Salad

2 Cups Baby Spinach (or any other favorite green)

1 Cup Quinoa

1 Cup Water

1 Cup Chicken Broth (feel free to use vegetable)

1 Can Mandarin Oranges (I used no sugar added), drained

1/3 Cup Crazons (I used 50% less sugar)

1/4 Cup Green Onions, sliced

Sliced Almonds, toasted

Drizzle of your favorite Asian Salad Dressing (I like to use Panera’s)

**Rinse the quinoa in mesh strainer. Add to a pot with the water and chicken broth. Bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer. Cover and cook for 15 minutes. Once cooked, remove from heat and let sit.**

**Once quinoa is cooled, add the spinach, mandarin oranges, Crazons and green onions. **

**When ready to serve, top with toasted almonds and Asian salad dressing.**

Hope you enjoy!
