Let's eat light tonight and make a wonderful salad. To make it perfectly balanced, we've filled it with all our favorite ingredients. The base ingredients are quinoa, apple, and avocado, set upon a bed of fresh salad. To give it a new and interesting flavor, we've prepared a strawberry-based dressing. It is quite a complex one, so we dearly invite you to try it.
