Instructions
In a small saucepan, bring water and salt to a boil over high heat. Stir in quinoa, reduce heat to low and let simmer for about 15 minutes, or until all liquid is absorbed.
Remove from heat, and let quinoa cool to room temperature. Quinoa can also be prepared ahead of time and kept in the refrigerator until ready to use.
Place quinoa in a large mixing bowl, and add cranberries, vegetables, cilantro, lime juice, olive oil and red pepper flakes. Stir together and add salt and pepper to taste.
If more spice is desired, add a few dashes of hot sauce to taste.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours for flavors to blend.
Serve at room temperature, or cold.
