For the Salad:

2 Cups Quinoa, cooked according to the package

24 Fresh Florida Strawberries sliced

2 scallions thinly sliced

¼ cup dried cranberries

Topping for Salad:

3 Tablespoons of toasted slivered almonds

Fresh Lime Zest

Dressing:

4 Tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Freshly Squeezed Lime to Taste

2 Tablespoons honey

¼ tsp ground cinnamon

¼ tsp chili powder

¼ tsp sea salt

¼ tsp pepper

Toss Salad to combine, mix dressing and pour over salad, top salad with almonds. Delicious, Light and Gluten Free! This salad is delicious when served on a bed of greens or stuffed in Pita Bread. When Bell Peppers are in, this salad is great used as a stuffing. You can also sub in Raspberries, Blueberries, or Blackberries or a combo of berries. Don’t like Almonds, sub in pistachios. Don’t like dried cranberries, sub in diced dried Apricots. Use your imagination and design this salad with your favorite flavors.
