Quinoa Apple and Blueberry Salad image

This is a recipe I found online, although I modified it slightly. VERY HEALTHY as it includes some of the world's healthiest foods--quinoa, apples, blueberries, walnuts, yogurt. Good for a side dish or for breakfast or whatever.

Time 30m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 cup quinoa
2 cups water
2 medium apples
1 cup blueberries (frozen is fine, just let them thaw)
1/2 cup walnuts
1 cup plain fat-free yogurt
1/2 tablespoon sugar

Steps:

  • Dump quinoa and water into a pot and heat to boiling, then move heat to low, cover, and let sit for 15-20 minutes. Quinoa should be white, translucent, and soft. (Or cook it in a rice cooker the same way you'd cook rice.).
  • Dice the apples and walnuts.
  • Toss all ingredients in a large bowl and mix until even.
  • Can serve immediately; however, I prefer it chilled.
