Quinoa and Spring Mix Salad

This is one of my favorite salads. Most of the Restaurants I eat at are offering so many more Vegetarian options. My two new favorites are Zoës Kitchen and Mod Market. The menus are incredibly vegetarian friendly and.....healthy!





Quinoa and Spring Mix Salad:

4 C Spring Mix Greens
4 C Cooked Quinoa
1 C Fresh Blueberries
1/2 C Chopped Pecans
1 Avocado, diced
1/3 C Crumbled Feta Cheese

Dressing:
1/4 C Mayonnaise (Low-fat is OK, if you think it will make you feel like it's healthier)
My personal choice of dressing is always Olive Oil and Apple Cider Vinegar.
1 TBS Plain Yogurt
2 TBS Granulated Sugar
4 tsp Whole Milk
1 1/2 tsp Apple Cider Vinegar
1 1/2 tsp Poppy Seeds

Whisk all ingredients for the dressing in a jar and refrigerate 1 hour.

Toss all Salad ingredients in a Serving Bowl.
Toss the Dressing into the Salad just prior to serving.

Enjoy!
Peace in the Kitchen!
