Instructions
1.
Wash the quinoa in a bowl with plenty of water and rub it between your hands. Repeat this process while renewing the water twice. Drain the water and cook the quinoa in a pot with 3 parts of water for 1 part of quinoa. Bring the water to a boil and let it simmer for 10 minutes. Strain the quinoa and let it cool down.
2.
Wash all the vegetables. Chop the spinach and lettuce with your hands. Cut the cucumber in half lengthwise and then into thin slices. Take the mandarin apart and cut each piece in half. Use a peeler or grater to make flakes of the goat cheese.
3.
For the dressing: place the salad dressing, half of the cranberries and 3 tablespoons of olive oil in a mixing jar. Blend it with a hand blender until you have a smooth sauce. Season to taste.
