Minted Quinoa Fruit Salad
0-5 points , salads/dressings
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup quinoa, rinsed thoroughly
1/3 cup chopped mint
1/4 cup yogurt, vanilla flavored; sugar free
2 tablespoons orange juice
1 1/2 cups sliced strawberries
2 kiwi fruits, peeled and sliced
1 11-ounce can mandarin orange sections; drained
1. In a medium saucepan, bring the salt and 2 cups water to a boil;
add the
quinoa. Reduce the heat and simmer, covered, until the quinoa is
translucent, about 15 minutes.
2. In mini food processor or blender, combine the mint, yogurt and
orange juice; puree.
3. Set aside 6 strawberry slices and 3 kiwi slices for garnish. In a
large serving bowl, combine the remaining strawberries, the remaining
kiwi and the orange sections. Drizzle with the yogurt sauce; toss to
coat. Add the quinoa toss gently to combine. Garnish with the
reserved fruit.
Refrigerate, covered, until well chilled, 1-2 hours.
Pronounced KEEN-wah, this grain was cultivated by the Incas. Be sure
to rinse the quinoa well-it has a coating that, if not rinsed off, can
make it bitter.
