Quinoa, fruit, and nut salad from Around My French Table: More Than 300 Recipes from My Home to Yours (page 138) by Dorie Greenspan

Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    Pg. 138. This is a delightful salad, appropriate for any time of year, but especially nice in spring/summer as a light meal. I like that it offers the flexibility to choose a range of dried fruits, nuts and herbs. I made it with dried cherries, cranberries, golden raisins, walnuts, pine nuts and pumpkin seeds. For herbs, I chose parsley and mint. The only change I would make would be to add a lot more mint -- those bites with a hint of mint were the most delicious. I served this over a mix of fresh baby spinach and romaine. We did not add the yogurt, but I think I would next time. And there will be a next time!

    p. 138 - I’d highly recommend this recipe. It comes together in no time and is absolutely delicious. Quinoa is rinsed then added to boiling water that is then turned to a simmer for 15 mins then set aside for another 5. Quinoa is drained and brought to room temp. An assortment of nuts, seeds and dried fruit are measured. I chose sliced almonds, sunflower seeds, dried apples, apricots and raisins. A mix of herbs are chopped. I used basil and flat leaf parsley. A dressing of lemon juice, olive oil, ground ginger is mixed. Everything is tossed together once the quinoa has cooled. DG also suggests that this dish can be topped w some plain yogurt and plated w mixed greens. I thinned out some plain Greek yogurt w some skim milk and stirred in some freshly chopped garlic and we drizzled this over top. I could eat this hot, at room temp or cold for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Photos here: http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/775860#6439320

    I was worried the greens might be too dry - I pretty much never serve greens without some sort of oil or dressing - but it actually worked perfectly...
