Quinoa and Grapefruit Salad
Ingredients
1 ½ cups

¼ cup

½ oz.
fresh mint leaves, chopped, plus more for garnish
½ oz.
fresh basil leaves, chopped, plus more for garnish
3 tbsp.
Kowalski's Freshly Squeezed Lime Juice (from the Produce Department)
Directions
- In a large mixing or serving bowl, drizzle cold quinoa with about ½ of the oil; season with salt and pepper.

Tasty Tip:
- To supreme citrus fruit, slice off the ends down to the flesh and place one of these flat ends on a stable cutting board. Use a sharp knife to cut down toward the board (between the cut ends), moving the knife with the contour of the fruit to remove all the peel and white pith down to the brightly colored flesh. Hold the peeled fruit in one hand (membranes running across your open palm) over a large bowl; using a sharp knife in your other/cutting hand, carefully cut down into the fruit alongside the membranes to release the segments into the bowl below.
Nutrition Note:
- Rich in vitamins A and K as well as iron, magnesium and potassium. One serving contains all the vitamin C you need in a day!
