This is a light and refreshing gluten-free quinoa salad that is loaded with nutty quinoa, fresh fruits and vegetables and a light dressing. It's perfect for summer potlucks, BBQs and get togethers!
Prepare the quinoa according to package instructions and set it aside to fully cool.
Prepare your fruits and vegetables and add them to a large bowl with the cooked and cooled quinoa.
Top with lemon juice, minced garlic, olive oil, and salt and better to text. Gently mix to combine and refrigerate until you're ready to serve it. It tastes best when refrigerated for at least 2 hours before serving.
Notes
To prepare the quinoa, follow the instructions on the back of the quinoa packaging. Typically, quinoa cooks in a 1:2 ratio - 1 cup of dried quinoa cooked in 2 cups of water.This recipes makes a light dressing, which I like so you can fully appreciate and taste the nutty quinoa flavors and the fresh fruits and vegetables.
