QUINOA****Quinoa, Pear and Spinach Salad-in-a-Jar

By Unblond1

14/03/16 - VG. Nice combination of flavours, pear is very nice.

Ingredients

• 4 tbsp maple balsamic dressing (This is enough. The quinoa soaks it up but it's still enough to dress everything else)
• 1 cup cooked quinoa (82 grams cooked per jar)
• 1 large ripe pear, diced
• 4 tbsp (28 grams) pecans, chopped
• 4 tbsp chopped red onion
• 4 tbsp (36 grams) dried cherries or cranberries
• 4-6 cups baby spinach or spinach/arugula blend (or enough to fill the jar)
