Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 475 degrees F (245 degrees C). Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray.

  4. While veggies are cooling, place quinoa in a mixing bowl and stir in beets and cranberries.

  5. Combine vinegar, sugar, onion, poppy seeds, salt, and dry mustard in a bowl for dressing.
