This salad will simplify your life this summer.

Fresh raspberries & blueberries, toasted pecans and quinoa all tossed in a honey mustard-vinaigrette is a beautiful combo, but something straight up magical happens when you pile that goodness on top of mixed greens. The quinoa soaks up some of the dressing, and each highly textured bite bursts with bright, fresh flavor.

It’s seasonal salad perfection.
