  • SERVES
    4 people
  • PREP TIME
    15 minutes
  • Cook TIME
    20 minutes
Ingredients
  • 4 cups mixed greens (spinach, arugula, and kale)
  • 1 cup cooked quinoa
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries
  • 1/2 cup walnuts, roughly chopped
  • 1/2 cup crumbled goat cheese
  • 1/4 cup balsamic glaze
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon honey (optional for a touch of sweetness)
Directions

  1. In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Add the quinoa, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes or until the water is absorbed. Fluff with a fork and let cool.

  2. While the quinoa is cooking, prepare the mixed greens by washing and drying them thoroughly.

  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the mixed greens, cooked quinoa, blueberries, and walnuts.

  4. Drizzle the olive oil and honey (if using) over the salad, and season with salt and pepper. Toss gently to combine.

  5. Serve the salad on individual plates or a large platter. Top each serving with crumbled goat cheese and a generous drizzle of balsamic glaze.

  6. Enjoy immediately, or allow it to chill in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes for a refreshing effect!
