Curry Quinoa Salad

This dish is simple and flavorful, filled with quinoa, fresh herbs, green onions, almonds and dried cranberries with an easy homemade dressing. It comes together quickly in under 30 minutes!

It is the perfect side dish or can be a main course itself and makes excellent leftovers for lunch. I added cubed feta when I used this the second night and it was a great addition that gave this salad a new life.
