Summer is and has always been my favorite time of the year. It’s when my favorite veggies are in season and I do love to make a salad for lunch or dinner when it’s just too hot outside to eat anything else. Today I’m sharing a delicious and easy salad to help nourish your body on any summer day.
Summer Salad Recipe
Grocery Shopping List
- 1 cup quinoa
- 2 cups loosely packed fresh baby spinach
- 1 small head red cabbage, shredded
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

- 3 Tbsp. olive oil
- 2 Tbsp. freshly squeezed lemon juice
- A handful of almonds or slivered almonds

Instructions
- Cook quinoa according to package directions. I like to add in a spoonful of coconut oil where there is about two to three minutes left to cook
- Meanwhile cut the sweet potatoes and add them to a pan with a spoonful of coconut oil
- Cook for about 5-10 minutes until they are soft and a little crisp
- In a large bowl, toss spinach, cabbage, cooked quinoa, broccoli and sweet potatoes
- In a small bowl, whisk oil and lemon juice then pour over salad
- Add almonds and toss to combine and serve
