Cold and Refreshing Quinoa Fruit Salad

I act out of impulse, quite often. And I’m working on that. I won’t go off and buy $500 pair of shoes, but if I see something that’s drool worthy, I will probably make it right there and then. That was the case with this cold and refreshing quinoa fruit salad with honey and mint. I saw it posted on Two Peas and Their Pod and I instantly fell in love. The colors, the vibrancy, how could I not? I had everything on hand and a delectable amount of summer fruit in the fridge. Raspberries, blueberries, blackberries and the sweetest peaches I have ever tasted.

This was so easy to whip together and it was done quickly after a killer workout (I need to tell you more about what’s been going on there). It was filling and sweet and hit the spot on this hot So Cal day.
