CRUNCHY PEACHES AND CREAM QUINOA
I tasty breakfast dish that uses the "super food" quinoa. Quinoa's protein content is very high, making it great vegetarians and vegans. It also contains a balanced set of essential amino acids for making it an unusually complete protein source and is a good source of dietary fiber and phosphorus. Quinoa is gluten-free and high in magnesium and iron. What a better way to start the day!!

PEACHES AND CREAM, LITERALLY
The classic combination of peaches and cream is as simple as it sounds: peaches, lightly sweetened and simmered, need only a splash of cold heavy cream and nothing more. Just remember to make this ahead of time for the peachiest results.

Steps:
- Cut each peach in half along the crease, twist open, and remove the pit. Peel and slice. Cut slices in half to get roughly 2 cups of sliced peaches.
- Bring sugar and water to a boil in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Boil until a syrup forms, about 3 minutes. Stir in peaches until coated. Bring syrup back to a light simmer, about 1 minute. Immediately remove from heat and pour mixture into a bowl.
- Transfer peaches into a large bowl using a slotted spoon. Pour in heavy cream and stir to combine. Divide mixture between serving glasses, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate until completely chilled and cream has absorbed all the peach flavor, at least 3 hours.

Tips:
- Choose ripe peaches: The riper the peaches, the sweeter and more flavorful they will be in your quinoa salad.
- Toast the quinoa before cooking: Toasting the quinoa before cooking helps to bring out its nutty flavor and makes it more fluffy.
- Use a flavorful broth: The broth you use to cook the quinoa will add flavor to the salad, so choose a broth that you enjoy the taste of. A vegetable broth or a chicken broth are both good options.
- Add some fresh herbs: Fresh herbs, such as cilantro or basil, can brighten up the flavor of the salad and make it more refreshing.
- Don't overcook the quinoa: Quinoa is a quick-cooking grain, so it's important to not overcook it. Overcooked quinoa will be mushy and unpleasant to eat.
Conclusion:
This Crunchy Peaches and Cream Quinoa Salad is a delicious and refreshing summer salad that is perfect for a light lunch or dinner. It's packed with flavor from the sweet peaches, creamy avocado, crunchy walnuts, and tangy goat cheese. The quinoa adds a boost of protein and fiber, making this salad a healthy and satisfying meal.
