Step-by-Step Instructions
- Rinse the quinoa under cold running water in a fine-mesh sieve for about 1-2 minutes.
- In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed quinoa and vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together olive oil, maple syrup, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, garlic, allspice, salt, and pepper to create the vinaigrette.
- Fluff the cooked quinoa with a fork, let it cool, then combine with diced apples, chopped celery, parsley, and walnuts in a large bowl.
- Pour the vinaigrette over the salad mixture and toss gently to coat. Adjust seasoning if necessary.
- Serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes before serving.

Notes
Rinse quinoa well to eliminate bitterness; add apples just before serving to maintain crunch.
