Quinoa Salad with Dried Cherries and Pistachios
Once you start using quinoa in salads, chances are you'll get hooked; it is a no-fuss grain that is extremely forgiving to cook, yielding tender pearls full of nutty flavor. Use this recipe as a starting point, swapping in other fresh ingredients such as kale, corn and cilantro.

Cherries, Radicchio, and a good red wine
January 7, 2013
I usually make the grains in advance - go skiing - leave the quick chop and dice for the last minute. I rewarmed the quinoa with the cherries, to soften them, and served the salad with a Deaver Vineyards Barbera. The sweet cherry and the slight bitterness of the radicchio blend very well with a heavy red. Even the fans of lighter wines thought this was heaven. This salad was all about the high note of the cherries and I may add more of them next time.
Pros: Easy, Healthy, Appearance, Will Make Again
