Quinoa, Arugula, and Balsamic Vinegar Salad

Shared June 10, 2016

Quinoa-Argula-Salad-recipe1

I originally shared this recipe back in May of 2011 – and it’s still one of my favorite quinoa salads. My friend Monica made it at a playdate and it was the first time I’d ever had quinoa – I was instantly hooked.

If you’re a Costco shopper – you can get most all of these ingredients at a great price there. Trader Joe’s is another great option.

Author: Heather
Recipe type: Salad
Ingredients
  • Prepare 1 cup quinoa, then chill for an hour (make quinoa in a rice cooker!)
  • ¼ cup balsamic vinegar
  • ⅓ cup pistachios
  • ⅓ cup dried cranberries
  • 1½ packed cups arugula
  • Add salt to taste
Instructions
  1. Add more of what you like, less of what you don’t. I would recommend buying a good quality balsamic vinegar as it’s the primary flavor in your salad. You can substitute spinach if that’s your thing.

This is a good salad for a potluck, you could have the ingredients made up ahead of time and then you toss it all together. It’s a pretty salad, so you’ll get some oohs and ahhs, and probably some yums!

Do you have a favorite soup or salad?
