Quinoa Fruit Salad with Orange Vanilla Syrup
Something a little different to the usual fruit salad that we often serve for brunch. The sweet orange vanilla syrup and the almost nutty quinoa take this dish to a whole new level! This is a great one to make the night before and allow the flavours to develop overnight.
