Here's a tasty salad from Two Spoons adapted with a few changes. The dressing is delicious and could be drizzled over any combination of veggies. I can't wait to make it again.

2/3 cup quinoa
1/2 cup hazelnuts or sliced almonds
1 shallot, chopped
1 cup carrots grated
1 cup red cabbage, chopped
14 oz can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
3 oz arugula
1/3 cup mint, chopped
1/4 cup pitted dates chopped

2 Tbsp orange juice

1/2 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp coriander
1/4 tsp salt
1/8 tsp red pepper flakes

2. Prepare dressing by whisking together oil, lemon juice, orange juice, maple syrup, cinnamon, ginger, cumin, coriander, salt and red pepper flakes.
3. In a large mixing bowl combine quinoa, chopped shallot, grated carrot, cabbage, chickpeas, arugula, chopped mint and dates. Pour over dressing and toss to combine. Sprinkle nuts over salad.
