Goat cheese is one of my favorite cheeses. Well, actually all cheeses are my favorite cheeses. Pair the tangy goat cheese with sweet roasted blueberries and you have a winning combination. Head on over to Whisked for this original delicious recipe as well as others. I adjusted the recipe a bit to satisfy my tastebuds but I am sure the original is just as tasty. This cold quinoa salad would be great to bring to a summertime barbecue or a light lunch. Blueberries are a great fruit to put in to your weekly diet as they are packed with antioxidants, neutralize free radicals, and support heart health. Combine that with quinoa and you have a flavorful and nutritious dish.
1/2 Cup Blueberries
1 Cup Cooked and Cooled Quinoa
1/3 Cup Goat Cheese, Crumbled
Fresh Basil, Chopped
2 TBSP Olive Oil
1 TBSP Red Wine Vinegar
1 Small Shallot, chopped
Salt
Pepper
Preheat oven to 400 Degrees.
Line baking sheet with parchment paper and place blueberries in a single layer.

In a small bowl, combine olive oil, red wine vinegar and shallot. Mix well.
