This is a great whole grain salad. Sometimes I use a small can of mandarin oranges in place of the whole orange.

Easy to make and packed with flavor! I used fresh oranges and cranberries, and the salad turned out beautifully. The dressing is also very tasty, with just the right amount of tanginess.

This salad is a delightful blend of flavors and textures. The combination of sweet oranges, tart cranberries, and nutty quinoa is simply irresistible. I especially loved the addition of toasted pecans, which added a nice crunchy touch.
