I also think this Salad would also be pretty great with grilled chicken or shrimp!

Quinoa is gluten-free, high in protein and one of the few plant foods that contain all nine essential amino acids.

It is also high in fiber, magnesium, B vitamins, iron, potassium, calcium, phosphorus, vitamin E and various beneficial antioxidants.Makes 4 servings

First, make your vinaigrette: add all the ingredients to a small jar and shake vigorously to combine, or whisk all dressing ingredients well in a small bowl.Heat up your grill on medium and spray with avocado oil. Add your sliced peaches, then grill for about 2 minutes on each side. We want them warm and juicy with nice grill marks.To assemble your salads; add cooked quinoa, cherry tomatoes, olives, onions, jalapeño, and grilled peaches, equally onto a large bowl or platter, or onto serving dishes.Drizzle each salad with a bit of your homemade balsamic vinaigrette. Taste test and adjust the seasonings if desired.
