Rainbow Quinoa Salad

Cook the quinoa in blueberry juice for a subtle flavour and glorious colour!

Rainbow Quinoa Salad

Simple, fresh ingredients give this salad its light, sweet and colourful flavour.  Add more or less of each ingredient as desired.  I used far less onion than pictured and more pineapple.  Fresh squeezed lime and salt and paper are the perfect finish to creating this dish.

Rainbow Quinoa Salad

This salad travels beautifully and can be saved in the fridge for at least three days.  Perfect for camping, travelling or packing a picnic at the park.  My friend Stephan shared this recipe with me and it’s my favorite so far!  He keeps raving about his blue cheese burgers so those might be next on the list *wink*.
