Quinoa Salad with Watermelon, Feta, and Basil

by Jennifer

I’ve lost count how many times I’ve made this quinoa watermelon salad this summer.  I love it as a side dish with dinner, I love it for lunch, I love it for a snack, I love it cold out of the fridge, I love it room temperature.  I would eat it in a boat, and I would eat it with a goat.  I will eat it in the rain, and in the dark, and on a train.

Couldn’t help that little lapse into Green Eggs and Ham :)

But seriously, go gather up these ingredients while watermelon is abundant.  If you’re going to get hooked on something for the rest of summer, this is a pretty healthy vice.

Quinoa Salad with Watermelon, Feta, and Basil
Ingredients
1 c. quinoa, rinsed
3 c. watermelon, cubed
1/2 feta cheese, crumbled
1/4 c. basil, chopped
1/2 c. sliced almonds

It's often messy - there are usually project remnants and toys strewn about - but the making of a home isn't always tidy work and I love showing you how you can make and style and organize your way to a home and a life you love!
