Fast and easy to make, this can be used as a main dish, side dish, or even a snack. Please use the 'real deal' Greek feta; it will add so much more flavor!

Ingredients

2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1 cup quinoa
½ cup chopped walnuts
½ cup dried cranberries
⅓ cup crumbled feta cheese

Directions

Bring chicken broth and quinoa to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until quinoa is tender and broth has been absorbed, 15 to 20 minutes. Transfer quinoa to a bowl.
Stir walnuts and cranberries through the quinoa; add feta cheese and gently stir.

Cook's Notes:

You can use water to boil the quinoa if you'd prefer.

Pecans or almonds are fine in place of the walnuts.
