DIRECTIONS
- Wash quinoa thoroughly under cool running water using a sieve. Combine 2 cups water, quinoa and bring to a boil. Cook according to package instructions or approximately 20 minutes (covered). Cook corn in salted water until tender; then drain well.
- Place quinoa in a bowl and allow it to come to room temperature along with the drained corn.
- Meanwhile, chop scallions and parsley - add to quinoa once it has cooled. Add feta cheese and dried cranberries. Mix well. Add balsamic vinaigrette - mix well. Add additional dressing if needed. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
- Allow salad to sit for at least 15 minutes to allow flavors to meld. Serve at room temperature and enjoy.
