  • 1/2 cup slivered almonds
  • 8 ounces fresh strawberries, hulled and diced
  • Citrus Dressing:
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 3 tablespoons orange juice
  • 3 tablespoons lime juice
  • 2 teaspoons dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon honey

Directions:

Cook quinoa according to package direction and transfer to a large mixing bowl. Add slivered almonds, blueberries and diced strawberries; set bowl aside. To a small bowl or a blender, add oil, vinegar, orange and lime juice, honey, and mustard. Blend or whisk until well combined. Pour over quinoa mixture and toss.
