Ingredients

  • 1 cup white quinoa
  • 2 cups homemade bone broth or water
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped celery 1 large stick
  • 1/2 cup dried cranberries finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup pecans toasted
  • 3 tablespoons chives, or green onions finely chopped
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar

OPTIONAL

  • 1/2 cup pomegranate seeds
  • 1/4 cup cilantro or parsley chopped

Instructions

  • Rinse quinoa in a fine strainer really well, even if it says 'pre-washed'. Get your fingers in it, and gently rub it under running water for a few minutes. It really helps get rid of the bitterness.
  • Bring quinoa and bone broth to boil, then simmer until the grains absorb all the moisture, about 15 minutes.
  • When done cooking, let quinoa sit covered for 10 minutes, then add the remaining ingredients, and mix everything well.
  • You can eat it right away, still warm, or cool before serving.
