Quinoa Salad with Beets, Radish & Pickled Rose Petals with Anthropologie


This is the time of year

….where we all long for spring and the warmth and vibrancy it brings. I developed this Quinoa salad with beet, radish and pickled rose petals recipe with just that in mind.

This spring, I want to live out loud – in color, often. Whether that’s with shared or solo experiences, I intend to find moments to slow down and savor the richness of life – & what my season – has to offer.

There’s no better way to start or end your week than with a dish that is not just delicious, but also beautiful. This salad hosts a wonderful combination of winter root vegetables, vibrant produce, and the unexpected – pickled rose petals – all layered in beautifully.

I hope this recipe and image collection will do just that – to inspire you to savor the moment and live a life full of color.
