    How to Prepare Fall Curry Quinoa Wraps [Vegan, Grain-Free]

    1. Rinse the heads of lettuce under cold water.
    2. Now place the lettuce on a cutting board and cut the bottom part. Separate leaves and pat dry with a paper towel. Set aside.
    3. Preheat oven to 375°F. Spread almonds and pumpkin seeds on a baking sheet; toast in oven until lightly toasted and fragrant, about 7 minutes. Let cool; coarsely chop nuts.
    4. Rinse quinoa thoroughly; drain. Bring 2 cups water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Add quinoa; return to a boil.
    5. Stir quinoa; cover, and reduce heat. Simmer until quinoa is tender but still chewy, about 15 minutes. Fluff quinoa with a fork; let cool.
    6. Whisk together maple syrup, shallot, curry powder, salt, and lemon juice in a large bowl. Season with pepper.
    7. Whisking constantly, pour in oil slow,; whisk until dressing is mixed in. Add quinoa, mulberries/cranberries, apple, seeds, and nuts; toss well. Fill each lettuce leaf with about 1/4 cup of quinoa salad.

    Notes

    The quinoa salad stores well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and it's really tasty just on its own.
