Chopped Apple Quinoa Salad

Ingredients

• 2 apple, grated or chopped (2 heaping cups)
• 2-3 large carrot, grated or chopped (2 heaping cups)
• 2 cups cooked quinoa
• 1/2 cup chopped almonds or walnuts
• 1/4 cup minced fresh parsley
• 1/3 cup apple chutney – my favorite was an apple walnut variety
• chopped or whole mixed salad greens, like spinach or arugula (optional)
• salt to taste

Steps

1. 1

   Prep the ingredients and allow to chill in the fridge. I’ve had best results with mixing when the quinoa is cool and crumbly instead of hot and sticky.

2. 2

   Combine all the ingredients in a mixing bowl and toss until well combined. Serve immediately, either plain, with chips, or on fresh greens.
