Stir water, quinoa, and 1/4 teaspoon salt together in a saucepan, bring to a boil. Reduce heat, simmer, covered, until liquid is absorbed, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat. Let stand for 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, whisk honey, ginger, vinegar, lime juice, garlic, remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt, and pepper together in a small bowl. Slowly add olive oil, whisking constantly, until fully incorporated.
Fluff quinoa with a fork. Stir together quinoa, cherries, cashews, dried apricots, and red onion in a large bowl. Add lettuce. Drizzle with 1/2 cup honey vinaigrette, toss to coat. Serve salad with remaining vinaigrette.
