For the dressing

  • ½ cup orange juice

  • 2 teaspoon maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
  • 1 clove garlic crushed or finely chopped

Instructions

  • Cook the quinoa according to package instructions. Set aside to cool.
  • Save a few strawberries of similar size to decorate the plate, then cut the rest into quarters, halving larger ones as appropriate.
  • Cut the feta into small dice.
  • Put the dressing ingredients into a small bowl and whisk, or into jar and shake together until blended.
  • Put the quinoa in a bowl and pour over the dressing. Add the parsley and mix together.

Notes

  1. I used a tricolor quinoa blend but you can use white, red or any other combination as you prefer.
  2. We recommend using Florida Strawberries for best results.
