- Cook quinoa as directed and allow to cool. While quinoa is cooling cut up all ingredients.
- In a REALLY large bowl add cooled quinoa; add oil, stir well, add vinegar, or lemon juice and stir to incorporate. Taste and adjust flavors as needed. You will do this a few times and at the very end as well. Add enough parsley and mint to your liking. I like more mint so I add more. It's absolutely ok to use dried but rub it in between the palms of your hand to release the oils. You will need about a tablespoon of each. By all means, use more if you like - I do! If you want to REALLY wow everyone, use white balsamic vinegar!
- Add ginger and stir. Taste for flavors. Ginger will be the heat to this dish. If you want more heat, add more.
- Add ALL the vegetables, raisins and cranberries. Stir really, really well. Taste and add more vinegar, or lemon, to adjust flavors for balance.
- Place in refrigerator to cool. Before serving taste and adjust if needed.
