Quinoa salad with strawberries recipe

This recipe for quinoa salad with strawberries and mozzarella tastes so delicious, especially with Danish strawberries. The combination of strawberries and mozzarella is simply so good - the sweet, fresh berries with the creamy, mild cheese. The base for the salad is green lettuce (you can just use the type/lettuce mix you like) and quinoa. When the quinoa is cooked, turn it into a vinaigrette with lemon peel, so it absorbs a lot of good flavor. Added homemade pickled red onions to the salad, which gives a fresh and sour twist. They are really easy to make yourself, and it doesn't take more than a moment before you have a big jar of beautiful pickled red onions in the fridge. Last but not least, the salad gets a sprinkle of roasted almonds. You can also use salted almonds or other roasted nuts, depending on what you have in the cupboard.
