I’m excited to be guest posting at Anthology Magazine this month with a 4-part summer salad series! If you can’t tell by now, I live on salads all summer long so I’m excited to share some of my favorites. First up, today, is this savory-with-a punch-of-sweet, strawberry & feta quinoa salad.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 c cooked quinoa (3/4 c uncooked, plus 1 1/2 c water)
- 3/4 c sliced strawberries (about 5-6 large strawberries)
- 1/2 c chopped or crumbled feta
- 1/4 c chopped mint
- 1/4 c chopped scallions (green and white parts)
- 1/3 c chopped walnuts, toasted
- 2 c baby salad greens
- 1/4 c sprouts (optional)
- Lemon Honey Vinaigrette:
- 2 tbsp olive oil (plus a little more to drizzle on at the end)
- 2 tbsp lemon juice (plus a little more to squeeze on at the end)
- 1 tbsp champagne vinegar
- 1/2 garlic clove, minced
- 1/2 tsp honey
- salt & pepper
Instructions
- Cook your quinoa. I like this method.
- In a small bowl whisk together the vinaigrette ingredients.
- Toss all salad ingredients together and pour on the dressing. Taste and adjust seasonings to your liking. I added a final squeeze of lemon juice and a drizzle of olive oil on top.
- This is the kind of salad that gets better as it sits and the flavors mesh together… so if you have the patience, let it chill for 15-20 minutes before serving. Make extra if you want leftovers for lunch the next day.

Pretty! What a lovely way to use strawberries.

Fruity salads are such a good summer staple! Thanks, this looks delicious.
I have very rarely cooked with quinoa and this sounds like something I would like to give a try. With all the berries, it also looks so pretty.
Lovely lovely salad!

Hooray! That’s fantastic! I love Anthology and am excited to check out your salad recipes. Strawberries + quinoa is a perfect combination.
Made this over the weekend and it was delicious! I left out the cheese (dairy issues) and used a bit of red onion in place of the green, so good!
glad you liked it, Jacqui!
