QUINOA SALAD WITH CHICKEN, ALMONDS AND AVOCADO

Quinoa Salad With Chicken, Almonds and Avocado image

Tricolor quinoa combines the tenderness of white quinoa with the pop of the red and black grains. All soak up a Dijon-sherry vinaigrette in this blend of chewy tangy cranberries, crunchy salty almonds, creamy avocado and refreshing parsley. This salad -tasty warm, at room temperature or cold - is a great way to use up leftover or rotisserie chicken. It's perfectly satisfying without the chicken, too, if you're vegetarian.

Ingredients

2 cups tricolor quinoa (12 ounces), rinsed well and drained
1/4 cup finely diced shallot or onion
3 tablespoons sherry vinegar
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and black pepper
2 cups leftover chicken meat, torn from a rotisserie bird
3/4 cup dried cranberries

1/2 cup roasted salted almonds, chopped
1 avocado, pitted, peeled and thinly sliced

Meanwhile, whisk the shallot, vinegar, mustard, oil and a generous pinch of salt and pepper in a very large bowl.
