Quinoa Salad and Sunbutter Dressing

I was given the recipe for the Sunbutter Dressing from a friend and decided to make a Quinoa Salad to go with it.  The dressing makes about 2/3 cup and I only used a small amount for my salad.

Quinoa Salad and Sunbutter Dressing

Salad for One:

1/2 cup cooked quinoa

2/3 cups vegetables  and fruit ~ I used Romaine lettuce (torn in small pieces), mini peppers, red onions and blueberries

Sunberry Dressing to taste (I used about a tbsp)

Sunflower Seeds or Pumpkin seeds

Sunbutter Dressing: makes 2/3 cups

3 tbsp Sunbutter

1 tbsp olive oil ( I used Pompeian Extra Light Tasting Olive Oil)

2 tbsp orange juice

3 tbsp water

1 tbsp dijon mustard

1/2 tbsp honey

1 small garlic clove

1/2 tsp salt

Directions:

To make dressing, add all ingredients into food processor and mix until no lumps.  

For salad mix quinoa, vegetables and blueberries, add dressing to taste.  Mix well.

Serve on a bed of Romaine Lettuce.

Garnish with either sunflower seeds (I was out) or I used pumpkin seeds.

Cook's Notes:  I will be adding more dressing when I make this salad the next time.  It was so delicious but 2 tsp is just not enough to get the full flavour of the dressing.
