Quinoa with Feta, Mint and Dried Cranberries

Last week I was making Lemon Pepper Tilapia for the second time in a week and I was searching for another quinoa side dish to serve with it.  Last time I made it I served it with this quinoa recipe and it was really good but I just wanted something a little different this time so I went searching to see what I had in my cabinets.  Now, I always have some kind of dried fruit in my pantry, feta in my fridge and I just happen to have mint growing in my backyard right now!  Out of those pantry ingredients was born this lovely little creation!  I hope you enjoy!
