Quinoa Salad with Blueberries, Strawberries and Watermelon

This Recipe Is:

By The Gluten Free Goddess
WebMD Recipe from Foodily.com

Ingredients

2 cups
uncooked quinoa
3 cups
fresh water
1 1/2 cups
fresh blueberries, washed, picked over
1 1/2 cups
fresh strawberries, washed, sliced
1 1/2 cups
diced watermelon
6 cups
baby salad greens
1/2 cup
extra virgin olive oil
pinch of sea salt, to taste
a handful of fresh chopped herbs: cilantro, dill, parsley and mint
fresh squeezed lime juice from 1-2 limes
cracked pepper, to taste

Instructions

Place the quinoa, water, and sea salt in a large to medium rice cooker, and cover. Cook until all the water is evaporated and the quinoa is tender. Scoop the cooked quinoa into a large bowl and fluff with a fork. Let it cool to room temperature.
Meanwhile, prepare the fruit and baby greens.
When the quinoa has cooled, drizzle it with the extra virgin olive oil and toss well to coat, fluffing with a fork to separate the grains. Add the fresh squeezed lime juice and toss again. Season with cracked pepper, to taste. Taste test. Add more olive oil or lime as needed.
Add the blueberries to the quinoa, and toss lightly.
Distribute the baby greens on six plates. Add the quinoa and blueberries. Add the sliced strawberries and diced watermelon, and the fresh chopped herbs.
And voila! A vegan gluten-free salad worthy of July Fourth.
