Gluten-Free Honey-Soaked Cilantro Quinoa
Amie Valpone

Let’s clean out our pantries, shall we? And while we’re at it, let’s toss all that summer-fresh cilantro and sweet, ripe oranges into the mix, as well. If you’re anything like me, you’ve got a whole pantry full of quinoa. And a whole binder full of quinoa recipes.

I’ve been using quinoa so much lately and I thought I’d take a break from the oven and let a little bit of summer back into my life by whipping up a sweet quinoa salad.
