This super easy strawberry quinoa salad is refreshing, vibrant, and so delicious. It’s packed with quinoa, fresh strawberries, and a maple lemon dressing. You have to make this during peak strawberry season this spring and summer.

I love fruit in salads because it adds a juicy, refreshing bite. If you are one of those people who don’t like fruit in salads, you need to try this. The quinoa and pecans add a nutty flavor and the maple lemon dressing adds a touch of sweet and tang to the salad. This salad is filling, light, and nourishing.
