- 1/2 small onion, julienned
- 1 bunch radishes, julienned
- 1 red pepper, julienned
- 1 large carrot, grated
- 1/4 C. dried cranberries
- 1/4 C. lime juice
- 1/4 C. lemon juice
- 1 C. cilantro, chopped

*Quinoa (pronounced Keen-wah) is a wholesome, super-grain. It's recommended to rinse thoroughly prior to boiling. This salad may be prepared the night before serving.
