Recipes

Cranberry Apple Quinoa Salad

Salad:

• 1 cup uncooked quinoa, (I also used farro, and it worked great!)

• ½ cup diced celery

• 2 green onions, sliced

• 1 cup diced apples

• 1/3 cup toasted pecans, chopped

• 1/3 cup dried cranberries

Dressing:

• 2 T apple cider vinegar

• 1 T honey or maple syrup

• 1 T olive oil

• 2 tsp Dijon mustard

• ¼ tsp granulated garlic

• Salt and black pepper to taste

1. Cook the Quinoa according to the package instructions adding a little salt to the water. Once the quinoa is cooked, let it cool to room temperature. (this can be made 1-2 days ahead)

2. While the quinoa cools, add all of the vinaigrette ingredients to a small bowl or jar with a lid. Whisk or shake until combined.

3. Once the quinoa has cooled, pour it into a serving bowl along with the remaining salad ingredients. Season with salt and pepper. Pour the vinaigrette over the salad and stir everything together until combined.

4. Taste for seasoning, you may need to make a little more dressing, then serve or refrigerate until ready to serve.

Face may appear to be a bit yellow but this will dissipate in 1-2 hours. Make sure to use your moisturizer after this treatment. Do not use more than twice a week.

Product Recommendations

Yoga mats

If you’re looking to invest in a great mat, Mary recommends Manduka Prolite. It is a bit pricey, but they offer a lifetime guarantee. There are various thicknesses as well as various lengths if you are tall.

Lole is another mat that Mary recommends. It is a very affordable choice.

Essential Oils

Mary recommends doterra essential oils, and she can order them for you. Use Mary’s personal email or the contact form in the ‘About Mary’ page. Lavender and Peppermint should be in everyone’s medicine cabinet, since they have more than one purpose.
