Brussels Sprout, Quinoa & Cranberry Salad

After almost a week of eating Thanksgiving leftovers, I was craving something light & fresh. I came across this brussels sprout, quinoa, cranberry & pecan salad on Pinterest (where else?!) I followed the original recipe via Gimme Some Oven, which is so easy to throw together! The orange dressing is delicious and really brings out the flavor of the dried cranberries! I had never tried a brussels sprout salad but absolutely loved it! I will definitely be making versions of this salad in the future - a few slices of avocado take it to another level!
