This Quinoa Crunch Salad, inspired by Erin Gleeson from The Forest Feast, is a delightful blend of textures and flavors that come together to create a satisfying and nutritious meal. The foundation of the salad is fluffy, nutty quinoa, which pairs perfectly with the crunchy mix of sunflower seeds, pistachios, pecans, almonds, and pumpkin seeds. Each bite offers a delightful crunch, making this salad not only flavorful but also incredibly satisfying.
The addition of dried fruits like cherries and apricots introduces a subtle sweetness that contrasts beautifully with the savory nuts and seeds. The dressing, made simply with olive oil, fresh lemon juice, and a pinch of salt, enhances the natural flavors of the ingredients without overpowering them. This salad is versatile enough to be enjoyed as a main dish or a hearty side, and its wholesome ingredients make it a perfect choice for a nutritious and delicious meal.
