Directions
- Preheat the oven to 390°F (200°C).
- Cut the top ½ cm off the head of garlic to expose the cloves, and place it on a baking tray. Drizzle with a bit of olive oil and roast on the centre rack for 20 minutes, or until golden and fragrant.
- While the garlic roasts, prep the veggies.
- To a large bowl, add the cooked quinoa, chickpeas, cut veggies, cranberries, and olives. Toss to combine.
- When the roasted garlic is removed from the oven and cooled enough to handle, remove the cloves of garlic from the skin and place in a medium bowl.
- Mash the garlic with a fork, and then add the remaining of the dressing ingredients. Stir to combine.
- Pour dressing over the salad and toss. Top with the roasted almonds, and enjoy!
Storage
- Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
