Chef Brad’s Top of the Morning Fruit Salad

AKA: THE FEAR FACTOR SALAD Very Healthy
This uses some different healthy grains, you can find them at sprouts.

• 1 cup fresh fruit (blueberries,strawberries, mangos, or nectarines work great, or even the frozen triple berry blend from Costco)
• 2 small cans mandarin oranges, drained (or fruit of your choice)
• 2 bananas, sliced
• 1 cup pecans, chopped (or sliced almonds)
• 2 cups cooked red quinoa
• 4 cups cooked kamut, spelt, soft or hard white wheat, faro, or barley (use one kind or combination of any of the above grains)

Toss above ingredients in a large bowl.

Dressing:

• 1/3 cup flax oil (or canola)
• 1/3 cup olive oil
• 1/3 cup honey
• 1/3 cup golden or regular balsamic vinegar
• dash of salt
• dash of nutmeg
• ¾ tsp of fresh grated ginger (can use ground ginger – just less)

Whisk dressing together and toss with salad. You may end up with a little extra dressing. Serve immediately.
