Greens and Quinoa Salad with Currants and Pecans

Greens and Quinoa Salad with Currants and Pecans

This salad can be made with just Quinoa but we liked mixing the greens with a few dollops of Quinoa mixed in.  We dressed the salad with Agave Mustard Vinaigrette but you can just use olive oil and lemon juice if you want to go basic.

1/2       cup cooked Quinoa  (more if not using greens)

            mixed greens

            sprouts

            Persian cucumber

            green onions, diced

            dried cranberries

            raisins

            pecans  (candy if like sweet)

            vegan Feta  (we used Violife Vegan feta) the texture is softer than dairy Feta
