Instrucciones

Cook quinoa according to package instructions in salted water until the liquid is absorbed and quinoa is light and fluffy.Place Brussels in a large bowl. Pour cooked quinoa overtop and toss to combine. (The residual heat will help soften the Brussels.) Let sit for 10 to 15 minutes to slightly cool.

To the bowl with quinoa and Brussels, add radicchio (if using, or celery), cherries, and pecans. Season with salt.

In a large liquid measuring cup or small bowl, combine maple syrup, mustard, vinegar, tarragon (or thyme), 1/2 tsp. salt, 1/4 tsp. black pepper; stir with a whisk. Gradually stream in olive oil, whisking continuously. Pour dressing over salad and toss to combine. Scatter goat cheese overtop and serve.
