Well it seems 'winter' has finally stepped aside for spring, well a Montana spring. Today, I woke up to a shocking 64ºF sunny clear-sky day. Only a gentle cold breeze reminded me that the winter still reigned.
Anywhoo, I put on my toe shoes and shorts, and went for a long run with just me, the trail, and that glorious sunshine (no tiny snow patches can stop me!).
One of my favorite salads I've been making on these surprisingly warmer days has been a mixture of Quinoa with dried and fresh fruits and nuts. Eat it for breakfast, lunch, dessert, or plop it over some field greens and add some balsamic vinegar, Yum!
Spring Quinoa (enough for one)
1/2 cup Quinoa
1 handful strawberries
1/4 cup raisins
1 apple chopped
1 handful walnuts crunched
olive oil to taste
1 Tblsp sesame oil
The sesame oil is pretty strong and gives the salad a buttery taste, however, it is best to go light then add more!
