Ingredients
For the Salad:
- 1 cup uncooked quinoa
- 2 cups water
- 2 small peaches, pitted and sliced
- 1 cup grape tomatoes, halved
- 1 cup fresh sweet corn, 1 large ear
- 1 large ripe avocado, pitted and sliced
- 1/2 small red onion, diced
- 1/2 cup crumbled Feta cheese
- 1/2 cup chopped fresh basil
For the Dressing:
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon golden balsamic vinegar or champagne vinegar
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- First, make your quinoa. In a medium saucepan, bring quinoa and water to a boil. Cover with a lid, reduce heat to low, and simmer until for 15 minutes, or until quinoa is tender. Remove from heat and let stand for 5 minutes, covered. Remove lid and fluff with a fork. Transfer quinoa to a large bowl and let it cool while you make the dressing.
- In a small bowl or jar, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, vinegar, honey, garlic, salt and pepper. Set aside.
- Add the peaches, tomatoes, corn, avocado, onion, feta cheese, and basil to the large bowl of quinoa.
- Pour the dressing over the salad and gently toss to combine. Serve at room temp or cold.
Notes
- The salad dressing and quinoa can be made in advance. They will keep in the fridge for up to one week.
