If you are looking for a refreshing summer salad, this is it. Combined quinoa with your favorite fresh fruit and enjoy! This makes a great side dish or you could eat it for a meal for 2-3 people. I loved the fruit combination in the recipe but you can use whatever fruit you have on hand or that you enjoy this time of year. Enjoy this simple and delightful dish for your next barbecue or summer get together.
