Add the brussels sprout and cook for about 5 mins.
In a large bowl, combine the cooked brussels sprouts, cooked quinoa, dried cranberries and pecans.
Pour the vinaigrette in the salad and Toss all ingredients together until combined.
For the Orange Vinaigrette:
Add all the ingredients in a mason jar. Close the lid and share well.
Notes
Be sure to remove any outer leaves of the Brussels sprouts that are bruised or have black spots.
If you are purchasing the Brussels sprouts in advance, keep them fresh by storing them unwashed, and untrimmed in a plastic bag in the vegetable crisper drawer of the fridge.
When cooking quinoa, make sure to rinse it beforehand so it won't be bitter.
To store: I recommend not adding the vinaigrette to the salad if you plan on storing it in the fridge as it can get soggy. This salad lasts for up to 4 days in the fridge when stored separately.
