Quinoa Salad #2

This is inspired by a salad made at one of my favorite local restaurants. I think they added a lovely piece of salmon to the mix, which I chose to omit for this post.  
Start with salad greens freshly washed and torn. 
I used garden-fresh spinach, 
but in the middle of winter when that's not readily available, 
I'll use a bag of mixed baby greens.
 Top with a cup of cooked and cooled quinoa.
 Add 1/2 cup each dried cranberries and dried, diced apricots.
 Top with sunflower seeds (or sliced almonds).
 I tossed this salad with a store-bought champagne vinaigrette. 
Someday I will learn to make my own...
