Red, White & Blue Quinoa Berry Salad image

Quinoa gets the sweet treatment in this refreshing summer salad with strawberries, blueberries, and red currants (though you can easily sub raspberries or blackberries in for the currants).

Provided by Kare for Kitchen Treaty

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 tablespoon lime zest (from about 1 large lime)
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice (about 1 large juicy lime)
3 tablespoons honey (can sub agave syrup or Grade A pure maple syrup)
1 tablespoon fresh chopped peppermint
2 cups cooked quinoa* (start with about 3/4 cup dried quinoa)
2 cups blueberries
1 cup strawberries (hulled and diced)
1/2 cup red currants (can substitute blackberries or raspberries)

Steps:

  • Make the dressing. In a small bowl, whisk together the lime zest, lime juice, honey, and peppermint. Set aside.
  • Place the quinoa, blueberries, strawberries, and red currants in a large bowl. Pour the dressing over the top and toss gently. Serve.
  • Keep refrigerated in an airtight container for up to two days, but I think it's better when served right after assembling.
