Looking for a refreshing and nutritious summer dish? My Quinoa Berry Almond Salad recipe might be the one for you! Combining the goodness of quinoa, fresh berries, apricots (or mango), crunchy almonds, and a zesty mint dressing, this salad is a delicious and healthy choice for any meal. Let’s dive into the recipe!

Servings

Ingredients

1/2 cup dry quinoa
2 cups strawberries, sliced
1/2 cup chopped apricot or mango
Stevia for taste
1 tsp balsamic vinegar
1 tbsp fresh lime juice
Pinch of sea salt
1 cup raw almonds, chopped fine in a food processor
1 tbsp mint

Instructions

In a small sauce pan, bring 1 cup of water to a boil. Add quinoa and cook over medium heart for about 20 minutes or until quinoa is cooked tender. You can also cook in a rice cooker (one of my favorite hacks). Cool thoroughly.
Meanwhile, chop the fruit and mint and place in a large bowl.
Whisk the balsamic vinegar, lime juice, salt, stevia, and mint in a small bowl.
Fluff cooked quinoa with a fork; add to large bowl and toss gently with fruit.
Toss with dressing and chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes before serving.
