Fall Cauliflower Quinoa Salad with Raisins

FALL CAULIFLOWER QUINOA SALAD WITH RAISINS

My newest and favorite ingredient to cook with is quinoa. Ever since we’ve started going meatless at least one meal a week I’ve been experimenting with different ways to cook and flavor quinoa because I’m not a fan of plain quinoa!

For this dish, I wanted to incorporate a little bit of “fall” so that you can easily make this as a side dish for your holiday party or just as one of your normal meal prep items.

You will notice cauliflower listed because it’s a great way to sneak in extra vegetables but feel free to leave it out if you don’t have it. No, you can’t taste it!

I used raisins for this recipe because it’s hard to find cranberries without added sugar but you can use cranberries or even grapes. Make this recipe your own by garnishing with walnuts or pecans.

Don’t let the list of ingredients fool you, this takes less than 20 minutes to make and then all you have to do is let it chill in the refrigerator and you are good to go!
