Frozen Fruit Salad

Hey you asked for it, so here it is! This is the easiest side to make.

Frozen Fruit
Cream Cheese
Yogurt
Cool Whip

Chop up the frozen fruit. Add cream cheese, yogurt, and/or cool whip. Some I hear have even added sugar if you want to make it sweeter.

Quinoa Corn Edamame Salad


This dish is packed with all things good for you. Delicious, too! It's my favorite quinoa dish that I've tried. I'm sad I didn't take a picture, because it's so colorful and gorgeous.

*You can add shredded chicken and call it dinner


QUINOA CORN EDAMAME SALAD


2 cups frozen, shelled, edamame

1 cup frozen corn

1 cup cooked, cooled quinoa (leftover is great)

1 green onion, sliced (just green parts)

1/2 red sweet bell pepper, diced

1 tablespoon minced fresh cilantro

1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil

1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice

1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lime juice

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon chili powder

1/4 teaspoon dried thyme

1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Dash cayenne

.

Briefly boil the edamame and the corn, just until tender.  Drain very well and cool completely.

In a large bowl combine the edamame, corn, quinoa, green onion, red pepper, and cilantro.  In a small bowl whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, lime juice, salt, chili powder, black pepper, thyme and cayenne until emulsified.  Drizzle over the salad and toss to coat.  Cover and chill for at least two hours.
