This was taken from Fitness magazine - it is so good! I make a big batch of it and I will have it for a snack, or lunch or dinner, or anything! It's delicious.. you can have it vegetarian or add chicken!

What You Need:
1 cup cooked quinoa
1 Tbs olive oil
1/2 cup scallions - include the white parts!
1/2 cup dried cranberries
1 Tbs fresh parsley
1 tsb lemon zest
Juice of 1 lemon
2 tsb honey
Sea salt to taste
Pepper to taste
1/2 cup chopped pecans
1/2 lb chicken (optional)

What to Do:
Combine all ingredients in a bowl, minus the parsley and pecans. Add in (hot) quinoa and mix until well-combined. Top with pecans and parsley, enjoy!

This makes 2 servings.
