Not to mention quinoa, strawberries and spinach are packed with powerful antioxidants and loaded with nutrients that help nourish your skin and keeps you staying healthy and strong. Hungry yet? Let’s get started, here’s what you’ll need:
INGREDIENTS
Dressing ingredients:
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 to 3 teaspoons balsamic vinegar
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon honey
1 teaspoon shallot, finely chopped
Salad ingredients:
¾ cup cooked quinoa, warmed
black pepper and sea salt, to taste
⅔ cup of strawberries, chopped
2 cups of baby spinach, roughly chopped
2 tablespoons pecan (optional)
Method
Cook the quinoa: In a saucepan, add in your quinoa and add in twice as much as water in the saucepan (depends on how much quinoa you want to cook, 1 cup of dry quinoa requires 2 cups of water). Once it comes to a boil, cover and reduces heat to a simmer. Cook for 10 minutes or until water is absorbed, remove from heat and fluff with a fork.
Make the dressing: In a small jar or bowl, combine the dressing ingredients and whisk the ingredients well or screw a lid on the jar and give it a few good shakes. Taste the dressing and adjust the flavors if necessary (add vinegar for a tarter dressing or honey for a sweeter dressing). Set the dressing aside.
Toast the nuts: In a small pan over medium heat, toast your pecan pieces until they are fragrant and golden (stir often). This should take around five minutes.
In a bowl, mix together ¾ cup or more of warm quinoa, salt, and pepper. Mix in the strawberries and spinach, drizzle with as much dressing as desired, and mix well. Top with pecan pieces. Enjoy!If you make this, let us see! Tag your photo with #skinb5recipes on Instagram.
