    Method: 

    Rinse quinoa several times. Bring water and quinoa to a boil and simmer 20 minutes or until all liquid is absorbed. Meanwhile, combine 2 tablespoons honey, lemongrass, garlic and peppers in a small bowl. When quinoa is cooked, stir in honey mixture.

    Chop cranberries with remaining 2 tablespoons honey and lime juice in food processor or blender; stir this into quinoa. Add mint, cilantro, red onion and salt. Toss to combine and chill until ready to serve.
