Slice off the ends of the Brussels Sprouts; discard the ends. Slice each sprout thinly (about 1/4″ slices). Place them in a serving dish.
Follow the cooking instructions on the package of quinoa. Once cooked, allow to cool completely before adding to the sliced sprouts.
To make the dressing, blend all ingredients in a blender until smooth. Refrigerate until use. (can be made 2 days ahead)
Add Cranberry Poppyseed Vinaigrette & toss to coat all of the ingredients.
Allow to sit 15 minutes to allow ingredients to absorb the vinaigrette.
