Another patriotic salad that I found for this upcoming Memorial Day Weekend is the Patriotic Salad with Quinoa and Berries. I found this salad while hunting for other fun recipes to make. I absolutely love adding fruits to my salad and this one looked delicious! I'm also kind of obsessed with the star shaped watermelon. Just sayin'!
I found this recipe on Yummy Mummy Kitchen blog. She shares many other patriotic recipes, so hop on over for more great stuff!
The presentation for this recipe is what makes it so fun. Pay careful attention to the directions below as you divvy up the ingredients inside the trifle dish.
[Serves 8]
5 ounces salad greens (I used arugula)
3 cups cooked, cooled quinoa
1.5 cups blueberries
1.5 cups raspberries
Sliced watermelon cut into stars with a cookie cutter (optional)
Favorite salad dressing, served on the side
On the bottom of a medium trifle dish or clear salad bowl, arrange one third of the greens. Top with half the quinoa, all but 1/4 cup blueberries, the remaining quinoa, another third greens, all but 1/4 cup raspberries, and top with the remaining greens. Arrange the remaining 1/2 cup berries over the top. If using watermelon stars, tuck into the sides and arrange on top of the salad. Make this salad up to 5 hours in advance, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate. Serve dressing on the side.
