This salad was inspired by a trip I took to the farmers market last summer. I was looking for something light and refreshing to eat for lunch, and I came across a beautiful display of fresh produce. I picked up some quinoa, apples, walnuts, celery, red onion, and dried cranberries, and I decided to make a salad. I tossed the ingredients together with some vegan mayonnaise and apple cider vinegar, and the result was a delicious and satisfying salad that I have been making ever since.
