Ingredients

4 servings
  • 1 cup dry quinoa
  • ⅓ cup toasted pecans ((toasted or un-toasted))
  • 1 whole green onion, (sliced)
  • 1 cup diced peeled peaches
  • ¾ cup diced cucumber
  • ½ cup diced red bell pepper
  • 2 tablespoons plain nonfat yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 1 small garlic clove, (minced)
  • 2 teaspoons honey ((or more, to taste))
  • salt and freshly ground black pepper, (to taste)

Steps

  1. Prepare the quinoa according to the package directions. Place it into a bowl and let it cool.

  2. Add the remaining salad ingredients to the bowl: pecans, onion, peaches, cucumber and bell pepper. Stir to combine.

  3. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the dressing ingredients. Add the dressing to the salad and stir to combine. I usually add more honey- drizzling some honey directly into the salad and tasting to get the flavor just right! Serve immediately, or cover and chill until ready to serve.
