Cranberry and CBD quinoa salad: let's get ready
Start bycooking the quinoa. Bring the water or vegetable stock to the boil, add the rinsed quinoa then simmer over low heat. Cover and cook until the quinoa is tender and the liquid is absorbed. Allow between 15 and 20 minutes for this operation.
Turn off the heat and let the quinoa sit covered for 5 minutes, then fluff it with a fork to cool.
While the quinoa is cooking, prepare the vegetables. Dice the cucumber and red pepper, and slice the green onions. Put these vegetables in a large salad bowl, where you will add the cooled quinoa. Incorporate the dried cranberries and toasted walnuts into the quinoa mixture and vegetables.
For the vinaigrette, in a small bowl, combine the olive oil, cider vinegar, honey or maple syrup, salt and pepper. Whisk until the mixture is well emulsified.

The chef's secret Before mixing the CBD oil with the dressing, heat it slightly. Using CBD oil at room temperature or slightly warm can pair it better with the other ingredients in the dressing. Make sure the oil is not too hot to preserve the calming properties of cannabidiol. |
Pour the CBD vinaigrette over the quinoa salad and mix well so that each ingredient is evenly coated. Let the salad sit for a few minutes before serving to allow the flavors to blend. Garnish the salad with fresh mint or chopped parsley just before serving. Enjoy your meal!
