A large bowl of vibrant salad is my favorite thing to make especially during summers. It’s also the best way to eat fresh in-season produce. Today’s recipe-Quinoa summer salad with fruits and nuts is one of my favorite ways of eating seasonal fruits. I am not very fond of cooking fruits and prefer eating them raw. I feel that after cooking they lose their refreshing taste, crunch, and nutritional value too. That’s the reason why on my blog you will find very limited recipes in which I have cooked fruits. If you also love fruits and prefer eating them in the uncooked form then you will love this summer fruit salad which is loaded with them. Also, you don’t necessarily need to use the same fruits which I have used. Any fruit that’s available can be added to it. I also don’t add the same fruits every time and love adding other fruits like mango, strawberries, pineapple, banana, grapes, etc. Juicy crunchy fruits, chewy quinoa, toasted nuts, refreshing mint leaves, tangy lime juice, sweet honey/ maple syrup, and a kick of dijon mustard - a combination of all these different flavors and textures make this salad so irresistible. This light and healthy salad is perfect for every summer event- be it a backyard barbeque, a picnic, or just a simple lunch at home with the whole family.
