Brown Rice & Quinoa Salad

By: WellBeing Team

Ensure you rinse the rice and quinoa for several minutes to eliminate any bitterness. You may think that basil and strawberries are an unusual combination, but they are the perfect pairing in this salad!

• 250g strawberries, sliced and hulled

• ¼ cup sunflower seeds, toasted
• 125g marinated goat’s cheese
