Blackberry Peach Quinoa Salad








     Ya know that feeling when you combine new flavors for the first time and fall in love at first bite!?  Such was the case with my Blackberry Peach Quinoa Salad.  This would work for an elegant dinner if you want to be all fancy, or perfect any night of the week when you are just wanting good food.  Not only is this beautiful but the portions are HUMONGOUS, each extra large serving is only 340 calories, 34g net carbs and 24g protein.  Plus, you will have to read on to discover my new hip Salad Dressing, even I was impressed ...and I think you will be too!  :)

Ingredients for 6 large servings~
1 pound Grilled Chicken Breast, cooked and sliced
1 cup Betterbody Foods Organic Quinoa
6 cups mixed Greens~I used chopped Romaine and Baby Spinach leaves
3 ripe Peaches, diced
6oz Blackberries, sliced
4oz Goat Cheese, crumbled
3 Green Onions, diced
2 Tablespoons Walnuts
1/3 cup Balsamic Vinegar
1/4 cup Betterbody Foods Organic Agave
Dash Pepper

     Grill Chicken, and slice when done.  Meanwhile, cook Quinoa according to directions.  Add cooked Quinoa to perimeter of large salad bowl, fill in middle with mixed greens, top with sliced Chicken.  Add 2 1/2 of the 3 diced Peaches to the salad along with the Blackberries.  Top with Goat Cheese crumbles, Green Onions and Walnuts.  Add other 1/2 Peach, Balsamic Vinegar and Agave to Magic Bullet and blend til well incorporated and pour over top of Salad.  Finish with a dash of Pepper.  Enjoy  :)
