Ingredients

• 1 cup quinoa, rinsed
• 1 1/2 cups water
• 1/4 cup red bell pepper, chopped
• 1/4 cup yellow bell pepper, chopped
• 1 small red onion, finely chopped
• 1 1/2 teaspoons curry powder
• 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
• 1 lime, juiced
• 1/4 cup sliced almonds, toasted
• 1/2 cup carrots, minced
• 1/2 cup dried cranberries
• salt and ground black pepper, to taste

Method 

1. Pour the water in a large saucepan, cover with a tight fitting lid, and place
over high heat. Once water starts to boil, pour in the quinoa, reduce heat to
low, and cover. Simmer until the water has been absorbed, about 15 – 20
minutes. Transfer the quinoa to a large mixing bowl and place in the
refrigerator until cold.
2. Once the quinoa is chilled, stir in the bell peppers, red onion, curry
powder, cilantro, lime juice, sliced almonds, carrots, cranberries, salt, and
pepper.
