Best Crumbly Gorgonzola Strawberry Quinoa Salad Recipes
QUINOA SALAD WITH STRAWBERRIES
This side dish brings all the flavors from a classic strawberry and spinach salad with poppy seed dressing into a light but filling grain salad. The mildly creamy dressing keeps the salad moist without weighing it down. Soaking the shallot in ice water cuts some of its sharp bite and prevents the entire dish from tasting like onion.

Steps:
- Cook 1 cup quinoa; let cool. Soak 1 thinly sliced shallot in ice water, 10 minutes. Drain and toss with the quinoa along with 2 cups baby spinach, 1 cup diced strawberries and 1/4 cup chopped salted almonds. Whisk 2 tablespoons each sour cream, olive oil and cider vinegar with 1 teaspoon each sugar, poppy seeds and kosher salt; season with pepper. Toss the quinoa salad with the dressing. Let stand 10 minutes.
MAKE-AHEAD SPINACH SALAD IN A JAR
Prep these salads once and eat for the week! Make sure to firmly pack the spinach into each jar and they will stay fresh all week. Use extra spinach if necessary. A great use for leftover quinoa!

Steps:
- Bring water and quinoa to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until quinoa is tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Allow to cool.
- Whisk orange juice, vinegar, orange zest, salt, curry powder, and pepper together in a small bowl. Slowly drizzle in olive oil, whisking continuously until well blended.
- Line up 5 pint jars in an assembly line fashion.
- Place 1 1/2 tablespoons of dressing into the bottom of each jar. Place 1/2 cup cooked quinoa into each jar, and top with 2 tablespoons cherries. Add 1 1/2 tablespoons goat cheese on top of the cherries. Top with 1 cup of spinach per jar and pack down tightly to remove air pockets; jars should be filled to the top. Finish each jar with 1 tablespoon walnuts. Cover jars and refrigerate until ready to eat.
