This summer peach quinoa salad is refreshing, healthy, and filling. It’s the perfect way to use up those summer peaches, corn, and basil. This quinoa salad is also vegan, gluten-free, and great for your next BBQ.

Peach season is in full force and I am loving it. This salad is filled with juicy sweet peaches, nutty quinoa, and sweet corn. The fresh basil adds a delicious herbaceous flavor and the dressing is simple, yet delicious! It’s an easy salad to make that is both healthy and fresh.
