Citrus berry quinoa salad


-1 C almond milk, plain or vanilla (I used regular 2% milk)
-1 C water
-1 C quinoa, rinsed
-zest of 1 medium orange (I omitted this)
-1/4 tsp cinnamon
-1 1/4 C fresh blueberries
-1 1/2 C fresh raspberries
-1 Tbsp plus 1/4 C honey
-sliced or chopped almonds

Combine the milk, water, quinoa, cinnamon, zest and 1 Tbsp honey in a medium sauce pan. Bring mixture to boil, lower heat to medium-low, cover and simmer until liquid is absorbed. 

Remove from heat, keeping covered, let sit for about 5 minutes. Gently stir in berries and drizzle with honey, top off with almonds.

serves 3-4 people

***I used fresh strawberries and peaches instead and it was wonderful***
