Welcome to my Culinary Innovation: Blueberry-Lemon Quinoa Salad!

Today, I’m excited to share a vibrant and refreshing dish that’s perfect for summer picnics or light lunches. The combination of juicy blueberries, zesty lemon, and hearty quinoa creates a satisfying salad that is both nutritious and delicious.

To begin, gather your ingredients:

  • quinoa (200g)
  • blueberries (150g)
  • lemon (1)
  • baby spinach (100g)
  • feta cheese (50g)
  • pecans (50g)
  • olive oil (30ml)
  • honey (15ml)
  • salt (to taste)

For this recipe, you will need the following kitchen tools:

  • saucepan
  • fine mesh strainer
  • zester
  • mixing bowl

Start by cooking the quinoa according to the package instructions. Once cooked, fluff it with a fork and let it cool to room temperature. In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon zest, lemon juice, honey, and olive oil to make the dressing.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked quinoa, blueberries, baby spinach, crumbled feta cheese, and chopped pecans. Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently to coat everything evenly.

Season the salad with a pinch of salt to enhance the flavors. Serve the Blueberry-Lemon Quinoa Salad chilled or at room temperature for a satisfying and light meal.

This dish weighs approximately 600g in total and serves 4 people. Each serving is around 150g with an estimated calorie count of 250 per portion.

For an extra burst of freshness, try adding a handful of fresh mint leaves to the salad before serving. The mint will complement the blueberries and lemon beautifully, adding a pop of color and flavor.

I hope you enjoy making and savoring this unique Blueberry-Lemon Quinoa Salad! Feel free to experiment with different fruits, nuts, or dressings to make it your own. Happy cooking!
