Super-fast summer berry and quinoa salad.

If I had three words to describe the last couple of weeks I’d pick: On the move. It’s hard to fathom how much adventure and change we’ve crammed into the last 6 weeks, but somehow it’s happened.

E, my partner in crime, graduated from business school and is now back on the west coast for good. It’s been fun exploring Philly but I am so, so happy to have him back in town.

On June 5th we took off for two and a half weeks in Israel and Turkey. It was our first sojourn to the middle east, and one of the best trips we’ve ever done. Equal parts fascinating, intense, and fun, I am still in awe of what we saw.

We spent July 4th hanging at a friends place, drinking white wine and eating burgers with an assortment of our closest friends. It was a wonderfully chill way to spend Independence Day, and just what the doctor ordered after weeks of endless movement and transition.

A Berry Delicious Salad

I brought this salad to the party, and it got rave reviews. It’s something I’ve made before so I am throwing it up on the blog. At this time of the year, the berries are delicious, abundant and affordable. It seemed silly not to take advantage of the summer’s best stuff! Enjoy this quick, healthy, and most importantly, tasty, combo!
