The other day I made a Cranberry Pecan Quinoa Salad. Just the name itself makes the mouth water, does it not?
How can a mixture of cranberries, chopped pecans, fresh orange juice, and thyme leaves mixed with quinoa (keen-wah) not bring thoughts of divinity to mind? I lovingly mixed all the ingredients together, scooped them into a serving bowl, and popped it into the fridge, leaving the flavours to meld for a few hours.
When my husband walked into the kitchen later, I retrieved the salad bowl from the fridge and inhaled the delicious citrusy fragrance, as I offered the bowl to him.
“Smell this”, I said, “What does this remind you of?”.
He looked at me funny and bent to take a whiff. Cautiously he replied, “Compost?”.
MEN!!!!
P.S. You can find the recipe here.
OMG, that sounds delicious!! I'm adding cranberries and pecans to the grocery list for tomorrow...Thanks! ~Angela
ReplyDeletehahahaha. I make a lovely salad with quinoa, black beans, cilantro, lime juice and a whole bunch of other things. I love it. I don't think Matt's a huge fan, but he eats it. I'd love to try your version.
