I wanted to make a quinoa salad using a mango, but since my mango wasn't ripe I went searching for something similar. I got the idea to add blueberries from this recipe, used her dressing, then added veggies that I had in the fridge.
1 cup quinoa
2 cups water
1/2 cup or more of each:
blueberries
diced cucumbers
diced red pepper
sliced scallion
sliced almonds
Dressing:
3 T EVOO
4 T lemon juice
10 Basil leaves, chopped finely
Salt and pepper
Cook the quinoa as directed, whisk together dressing ingredients and combine everything.
