½ cup quinoa

½ cup steel cut oats

¼ teaspoon salt

1 cup 1/2 cups non-dairy plain, unsweetened yogurt

1 tablespoons real maple syrup (optional)

2-inch piece fresh ginger, peeled and grated

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

1 teaspoon vanilla

1 cup blueberries

1 cup quartered strawberries

3 oranges, segmented

2 tablespoons finely chopped mint

Chopped nuts for serving

Line a baking tray with parchment paper. In a medium bowl, rinse the quinoa and oats in water. Pour through a fine mesh strainer, then place in a small pot. Add 2 1/2 cups water and salt. Bring to a boil, then simmer on medium heat for about 20 minutes, or until the grains have just turned tender. Strain off an excess cooking water. Empty grains onto lined baking tray and spread out to cool. Grains can be made in advance.

In a large bowl, stir together the yogurt, syrup, ginger, lemon juice, and vanilla. Add cooled grains and toss. Add blueberries, strawberries, orange segments, and mint. Gently toss again. Serve topped with chopped nuts, or chill for several hours.
