Blueberry & Quinoa Salad with Flax Lemon Vinaigrette

This Blueberry & Quinoa Salad with Flax Lemon Vinaigrette is perfect for serving to your family or gusts.  Its a fresh summer salad everyone will enjoy!

This Blueberry & Quinoa Salad and the Flax Lemon Vinaigrette that goes with it is full of “Superfoods”. 

Kale is loaded with vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and fiber, but it’s also super low in calories. 
 
Quinoa is high in fiber, filled with protein, and is naturally gluten-free.
 
Blueberries are one of the best sources of antioxidants and also contain phytochemicals that could influence your metabolism, helping you trim your waistline.
 

Beets are truly “nature’s multivitamin” as they contain an incredible range of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants.

 
Chia Seeds are a great source of Omega-3 Fatty Acids, Fibre, Calcium and protein.
 
Almonds are an excellent source of vitamin E, a powerful antioxidant. They are also rich in B vitamins, fiber and the essential mono- and polyunsaturated fatty acids that are responsible for lowering LDL (bad) cholesterol. 

The Vinaigrette is equally filled with superfood – Flaxseed oil, Lemon, Garlic and Cayenne! 

 Oh and I guess I should mention just how delicious this salad is!  I love the zesty flavour of the vinaigrette paired with the nutty and slightly sweet and savoury flavour of the salad itself.  Perfecto!

I love blueberries and you've got some great recipes in the list but I don't think this one would agree with my taste buds

I made this tonight and used olive oil instead of flax. I didn't have any lemon rind but it was good without it. I used chopped pickled beets and added extra almonds as I love them. lol The husband didn't like it but I don't mind as I love it and can eat it myself over the next few days :)
