How to Make Quinoa Fruit Salad With Toasted Coconut Flakes

  1. Add the quinoa in a large bowl and pour 1 cup of water over it. Let it soak for 30 minutes. When the time’s up, drain the excess water using a strainer.
  2. Add the remaining water and the milk in a saucepan, then place it over medium heat. Add the brown sugar.
  3. When the liquid starts simmering, add the soaked quinoa, and whisk for 1-2 minutes. Leave it aside so that the quinoa absorbs the liquid.
  4. Preheat the oven to 400°F/200°C.
  5. Line a baking tray with parchment paper and add the coconut flakes over it, in an even layer. Bake the flakes for the next 5 minutes.
  6. Make sure the quinoa is soft and then strain it well, to remove the excess liquid.
  7. Transfer the cooked quinoa in a bowl, then add the coconut flakes, combine them with a fork.
  8. Top the bowl with kiwi, blackberries, and blueberries.
