Salad with Grains and Grapefruit Salad Dressing



This salad is crisp and so refreshing with a twist of citrus - absolutely delicious! 

Ancient Grains:
1 cup red quinoa, rinsed
1/2 cup white quinoa, rinsed
3 cups water
1 drop of Doterra's Rosemary essential oil OR 1 tsp dried Rosemary
1 drop of Doterra's Basil essential oil OR 1 tsp dried basil
2 drops of Doterra's Lime essential oil OR the juice from 1 lime
2 tbs minced dry onion
1/2 tsp garlic powder
sea salt and pepper to taste

Place all ingredients into a medium size pan and bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover, then simmer for 15 minutes.

Grapefruit Salad Dressing:
Juice from 1 grapefruit
Juice from 1 orange
Juice from 1 lemon
1 tbs white wine vinegar
1 tbs balsamic vinegar
2 tbs olive oil
1 tbs agave (or honey)
Dash of sea salt

Place all ingredients into a mason jar and stir.

Salad Mix:
You can combine any kind of salad ingredients but here is what I used because it's what I had on hand.
1 container baby kale
1 head of leafy lettuce, roughly chopped
1 head of red lettuce, roughly chopped
2 handfuls of baby Bella mushrooms, roughly chopped
1 bunch of green onions, chopped

Top your salad with the grains and garnish with veggies and/or guacamole (click here for a yummy guac recipe), and then drizzle the grapefruit salad dressing over it. Hope you enjoy this nutritious salad as much as I did!
