Spices are used extensively in Moroccan food, meaning most Moroccan dishes call for a whole cupboard full of spices, which is why the list is long for the salad dressing. Count ’em. There’s 7 different spices. Though, just imagine, the celebrated Moroccan spice mixture ras el hanout<\/em> is made up of 27 spices! So comparatively, this Moroccan-Style Quinoa Salad recipe would be be considered rather uncomplicated. And I think it is. Cumin, turmeric, cardamom, coriander, clove, nutmeg, and cinnamon are spices I have on hand, even if some are favored more than others. Actually turmeric, is the only one that I use fresh over dried. And because I am on a turmeric kick, I always have some of these finger-staining roots on hand.<\/p>\n

Moroccan dishes also often call for couscous, almonds and dried fruit. I’m all for almonds, but thought how about a Moroccan-style quinoa salad? And because I can’t leave good enough alone, dried raisins or apricots were out of the question. I despise raisins and I’m luke warm about dried apricots. Dried cranberries, on the hand, love them, but settled on fresh oranges and pomegranates. Another nice variation on this salad would have been to reduce the amount of quinoa and add chickpeas. Do you see why I love salads. Endless possibilities.

\nI made this Moroccan-style quinoa salad to feed a crowd, so feel free to half the recipe to serve 2-4. Actually a crowd, in this case means, enough for leftovers. Lots of leftovers so that my favorite Schwabe can bring me something yummy to eat while I spend the next days in hospital. Yes, hospital… and for 7 days. I imagine, boredom, bad food and more boredom. And hopefully a little Netflix in between. But yes, I have a book packed. \ud83d\ude09 And hopefully my favorite Scwabe manages to pull off some tasty meals for me as well as some green smoothies and healthy homemade juices — let’s see what he can muster up!<\/p>\n
