Couscous and Red Quinoa Garden Salad
Quinoa and couscous make delicious bases for salads of all sorts. When it's garden season, I throw whatever is ready for harvest into chilled quinoa and couscous and mix it all together. I dress it lightly with balsamic and olive oil or the delicious vegan French dressing referenced here in this blog. So delightful!
Ingredients:
1 cup cooked quinoa, chilled
1 cup cooked couscous, chilled
**or 1/2 cup each quinoa and couscous depending on side of salad**
Fruit:
strawberries, mango, peaches
Fresh, raw veggies:
kale
red onion
salad greens
tomatoes
yellow, orange or red sweet bell pepper
cilantro
basil, ripped
Trimmings:
blanched almonds, or
Marcona almonds
raw sunflower seeds
raw pepitas
feta cheese, or
goat cheese
optional: black beans
Enjoy!
