I’m not sure if you remember one of my very first quinoa salads on the blog. It was 2013, I had just met my husband, and the recipe surprisingly went viral on Pinterest! I can’t believe that was almost 10 years ago — time flies here at AK.
Ever since then I’ve fallen in LOVE with quinoa salads. You can actually get all of my quinoa salad recipes here! I made this beautiful avocado blueberry quinoa salad a few years back because I knew I wanted a hearty, yet super fresh salad for summer.
This amazing, summer-y quinoa salad has lots of fresh produce like corn, blueberries, avocado and herbs, plus a little crunch from pistachios and tanginess from feta. The combo is SO delicious and every bite is bursting with flavor. It’s all tied together with a homemade cilantro lime dressing that you’ll want to put on everything. The perfect seasonal lunch or side dish for your next BBQ!

Ingredients in blueberry quinoa salad
This simple blueberry quinoa salad is packed with fresh ingredients and tossed with a tangy, slightly spicy cilantro lime dressing. ZIPPITY DO DA ZIPPITY DAY. Here’s what you’ll need:
- Quinoa: the base of this delicious salad is made with quinoa, which gives it a boost of protein and a slightly nutty flavor. Farro, couscous, or even your favorite pasta would also be delicious!
- Veggies & herbs: this blueberry quinoa salad is packed with fresh sweet corn (I love it straight off the cob), zippy red onion, and freshness from cilantro.
- Fruits: there are, of course, juicy, fresh blueberries, plus creamy avocado.
- Feta: tangy feta crumbles are amazing in here! Feel free to omit to keep this vegan.
- Pistachios: hello crunchy, salty pistachio bites.
- For the dressing: you’ll just need a bit of olive oil or avocado oil, lime juice, more cilantro, jalapeño, salt & pepper.
Easy ingredient swaps
Out of a few ingredients for this avocado quinoa salad? Here’s what I can recommend for simple swaps:
- For the quinoa: feel free to use another grain like farro or even couscous!
- For the pistachios: toasted, sliced almonds would also be delicious in here.
- For the feta: a little crumbled goat cheese would be the perfect swap.
Looking to add a boost of protein?
This blueberry quinoa salad would be delicious with a can of chickpeas, chopped, grilled chicken, or grilled salmon or shrimp!
How to make the best fluffy quinoa for salads
I know how difficult it can be to make the PERFECT quinoa, but I have a tried and true method for making super fluffy. It’s perfect for quinoa salads & side dishes, and will be your new go-to method. Get all of my tips & tricks here to make the best quinoa every time!
Tips for making this blueberry quinoa salad
- Use firm avocados as they’ll keep their shape better. Check out exactly how to cut an avocado safely here!
- Choose any nuts you’d like! The roasted pistachios add a nutty flavor and crunch to this quinoa salad, but you can always sub toasted almonds, walnuts, pecans or even candied pecans.
- Use seasonal fruits. If you don’t have any blueberries, try using strawberries, raspberries, blackberries or peaches. YUM.
- Feel free to add chickpeas or chicken for an additional boost of protein!
- If you’re making this quinoa salad ahead of time, I suggest adding the avocado and pistachios right before serving.
How to store quinoa salad
Store this blueberry quinoa salad in an airtight container in the fridge, without or without the dressing, for up to 4-5 days. The acidity from the lime juice will help the avocado stay fresh! The dressing will also stay good in a container in the fridge for up to one week as well.
What to pair with this blueberry quinoa salad
This salad is delicious on its own as main dish, or it makes for a wonderful side paired with different proteins and mains. I suggest:
- Easy, delicious grilled chicken
- Seriously Good Sweet Potato Cheddar BBQ Chicken Burgers
- Vegan Turmeric Pineapple Tofu Kabobs
- Firecracker Salmon with Peach Avocado Salsa
- Ultimate Vegan Black Bean Burgers with Creamy Tahini Garlic Sauce
- Incredible Slow Cooker Pulled Chicken Sandwiches

Are there 4 servings or 6? The nutritionials say both.
Updated! Nutrition is for 6, but the recipe can serve 4-6 🙂
That woman from facebook is going to be sad to see there is feta in the recipe hahaha! Me on the other hand, loveeeee the flavor combos you have going on here!
Haha oops! Can’t help it – love feta in here 🙂 Hope you get a chance to make this one Ema!
In your nutrition info it says serves 6. But at the end of the recipe it says serves 4…?
Hi Cindy! Thanks for the catch – I’ve updated the recipe (the nutrition is for 6 but the recipe serves 4-6!)
Looks delicious! If we’re making this to have for lunch throughout the week, is it okay to add avocado at the time of making it?
I’d recommend adding the avocado when you’re ready to serve if you’re planning to keep the salad for a few days (just to keep it nice and fresh!) It will be fine either way though 🙂
I would leave out the corn, or definitely cook it first. Humans do not digest corn well…
I always cook it first (and then cut it off the cob 🙂 ). Grilling it would be delicious, too!
Did not realize I needed to cool the corn. That was not specified.
No need to cool it, but if you meant cook it – I always do cook it (and it is likely easier to digest that way) but you can also cut it off the cob raw if you prefer.
What kind of blender do you use for the dressing?
Any blender should work just fine! I usually use my Vitamix.
Hi Monique, I wish I liked Feta but I don’t. What cheese substitute do you recommend?
Hi Leanne! Feel free to use any crumbled cheese you like or even cube up some white cheddar 🙂
there is one cheese i like Mexican Panela or fresco it’s not as dry as feta and it’s a bit saltier and pairs perfectly with corn.
Sounds delicious! Let me know if you give it a try in the salad 🙂
Can’t wait to try this!
One of my new favs — enjoy!
This is absolutely fabulous! I have made it twice so far and it is now one of my favorites! I have never made quinoa correctly until now. I followed this step by step and it’s perfect! Thank you so much for sharing this recipe!!
Amazing! So happy to hear that. And YES the quinoa tips are a game changer 🙂
I’m allergic to cilantro, what would you recommend for a substitute?
I would just leave it out!
Well you answered my cilantro question. How do you think it would be with some flat leaf parsley
Delicious! 🙂
This is delicious. Thank you for all the great recipes. Keep up the good work!
Thanks Emilie! Glad you enjoyed 🙂
Made this for a party yesterday and everyone raved about it!! Had what little was leftover for dinner tonight and it was equally delicious on day 2…the avocado even stayed green! Yum…will be adding this to my regular recipe rotation!
Amazing! Day 2 the dressing in the salad makes it even better 🙂 Perfect for meal prep lunches, too!
Love it! Made it for my lunches this week! Thank you!
Amazing! So happy to hear that.
I am following you for a month more or less and everything I cook based on your recipes turn out sooooo delicious. Best Regarding from Portugal!
Amazing! So happy to hear that, Ana. Thanks for your note!
This was absolutely delicious! I did double the dressing and used about three quarters of it. Super combination of flavors. I’ll make this often! Perhaps the only thing I’ll play around with is the jalapeño…I like spicy.
Glad you enjoyed! I’m all about adding a little spice 🙂
This is the second time this week I’m making this salad . It’s great thank you for the recipe.
So happy to hear that, Sarah!
Tossing blueberries in with TexMex ingredients? Genius! This tasty (and easy) dish is great as a side with salmon or chicken, or to bring all by itself in your brown bag lunch to work. Yum!
Absolutely! One of my favs for lunch 🙂 glad you enjoyed!
I made this recipe last night for dinner. It was amazing!!! I love the combination of ingredients, so flavorful. I added some grilled chicken strips for my hubby, who does not believe a meal is complete without meat. For people who might want to speed up the preparation process, I used a 90 second microwaveable package of Quinoa. Tasted great! One other revision I made was to blend the cut up onion into the dressing, rather than having the raw onion bits mixed in with the salad. Try it you’ll love this recipe!!
Delicious! Sounds like the perfect dinner 🙂
This was incredible! My husband and I have been eating off of it for several days. The dressing helps the avocado from browning, and the blueberries keep getting sweeter! I used sliced almonds in place of pistachios. SO GOOD!!
Love that! One of my favs for spring & summer 🙂
This recipe has it all: fresh, fruity, acidic, nutty, spicy (I kept the jalapeno seeds). Such a delicious salad,
Absolutely! Glad you loved it 🙂
SO yummy!! The corn adds a nice sweet crunch to the salad, I will definitely be making this again!!
Absolutely! So glad you loved it 🙂
Made this salad tonight – it was a success! Both me and my husband loved it. Well balanced, tasty, healthy, and easy to make. Thank you for the recipe!
Amazing! So happy to hear that 🙂
Absolutely delicious. I am trying plant based eating and this is my 1st official meal. Can’t way to try others. My husband also raved about this and said to make sure that I saved the recipe!
Amazing! The perfect first meal 🙂
Made this for my family for Memorial Day and it was a huge hit, will definitely make again, pairs well with Barbecue!
So happy to hear that!
It is an amazing twist with the green sauce/ dressing. Thx so much 🙂 I’m inspired!
Absolutely! Glad you enjoyed!
I’m making this salad tonight. So far have loved all of your recipes! Question – thoughts on shredding spinach or romaine for the base, then adding the salad ingredients on top? I feel like I need a lettuce to make this a main dish? Thank you.
So happy to hear that! I think some spinach or arugula would be delicious, too 🙂
Absolutely loved this dish
I’m so glad!
This is a delicious and beautiful salad! My dressing didn’t blend up very well in my Vitamix, so next time I’ll chop the jalapeno finely and add it to the salad, put more chopped cilantro in the salad, and whisk the other dressing inredients together. Since one of our family isn’t eating dairy or nuts, I mixed the salad without those and put the feta and pistachios on top for those that could have them. I also put the avocado on top since I forgot to mix it in. This is another keeper of a recipe!!
Perfect! Let me know how it goes with the dressing alternative 🙂
I make this for lunch every other week! It keeps so well in the fridge. I just add the avo and the dressing as I go. I even made this for a friend who lost a family member and Her family raved about it! I have made this no less than 15 times since it was posted!
Perfect! I’m so glad your friend and their family loved it, too. Such a great meal!
This is freaking amazing! Seriously, one of the best things I’ve ever eaten!!!
I’m so glad you loved it!
This salad is so delicious! My whole family loves it! Thank you for sharing this recipe!!!
I’m so glad!! 🙂
I subbed green onion for the red and doubled the dressing for added zest. Big hit with our dinner guest! I sent him home with a hefty portion and saved some for us as well.
Perfect! So glad he enjoyed!
This is amazing, delicious, and easy. I brought a double batch to a camping trip and it was a huge hit with everyone and kept well in a plastic airtight container in a cooler. I added extra blueberries and pistachios and extra lime juice both to the dressing and squeezed extra on top. Next time I might make a double batch of the dressing so I could add more to leftovers. This salad is perfect for a summer picnic or party, holds up well, and is a great combo of healthy and delicious.
So happy this held up well camping! One of my favorite summer salads 🙂 glad you loved it!
This is a great recipe if you want an easy weekday lunch that is quick to prepare in advance. It does keep great. I pour the dressing over the cut Avo and other veg and mix that first, which keeps the avocado in good shape (I usually portion it by four). Have shared this with a bunch of friends. It was great last summer and it’s been so refreshing during our home bound days of 2020. Looking forward to exploring more of your gems.
Absolutely! The perfect summer lunch 🙂
One of my New Favorite Things in Life! This is a tasty refreshing salad loved by my family and my coworkers. I used about 1/3 less quinoas and doubled the dressing. I will be making this again’
Amazing! Glad everyone enjoyed!
Such a staple in the summer time. One of the first AK recipes I tried and it did not disappoint. Soooo good
Absolutely! Glad you love it!
Didn’t quite understand the addition of blueberries but it worked. This salad is delish. Will definitely make again.
Feel free to leave them out if you don’t like them! Glad you enjoyed.
Loved this. The dressing is amazing
One of my favs for summer 🙂
Love this recipe!! All the flavors are just so delicious and pair so well rogether!! And I love using quinoa as the base now that I have gotten my husband on board with it! We added grilled chicken and it was perfect. My only issue was making the dressing. I used my Ninja blender and followed the instructions but there wasn’t enough volume in the container for the blades to do their job.. and I tried an immersion blender and had the same issue…so I went old school and used a mortar and pestle.. which worked but it definitely wasn’t as liquid-y as if the blender had worked. That was the only problem I had but everything still turned out delicious and I will be adding this to my summer meal list!!! Bring on the warm weather!
So glad you love this one! Hmmm do you have a single serve cup for your blender? That should help, or trying it on a food processor!
I can’t wait to try the blueberry quinoa recipe.
Hope you love it!
Can you use frozen blueberries in this recipe?
Sure! Just let them thaw and then drain the excess liquid 🙂
This recipe was amazing! Looking at the ingredients, I wasn’t sure how it would all come together. However the crunch of the pistachios, corn and red onion combined with the sweet of the blueberry was fantastic. Add salty pistachios and feta and it’s a homerun.
Isn’t it a fun flavor combo?? Glad you enjoyed it!
This frankly sounded like a bizarre combination of ingredients, but it was FANTASTIC. I grilled corn on the cob and the red onion (in medallions, then chopped them after grilling). Next time, the only modification I’d make is to add some roasted poblanos just because I like roasted poblanos in almost anything. 🙂 Thanks for the recipe!
So happy it was unexpectedly delicious! Love the idea of roasted poblanos in here 🙂
This is SO good!! So simple, light, and delicious! I made this for meal prep lunches and I’m going to be looking forward to lunch every day this week! I was out of pistachios, and subbed roasted cashews.
I’m so happy you’re loving it, Crystal!! Such a good one for meal prepping 🙂
Glad I seen your post tryna eat and live a better life so I seen the avocado blueberry and quinoa salad it looked very good finally got around to making it loved it it smelled and tasted great something I will eat on a regular and I see other recipes I would like to try 😊😊😊…
I’m so happy you loved it, Aaron! Can’t wait for you to try more recipes soon 🙂
I brought this to a gathering and people couldn’t stop talking about it — they were in love! Several women asked me for the recipe and I was happy to share Ambitious Kitchen with others. It was fabulous and I made it as is…so perfect, so good and so simple!
One of my favorite salads ever!! We make it multiple times a WEEK when blueberry season comes around. We swap the feta for Parmesan!
Delicious and easy! I would not think of this combo but it works so well and there is great texture, too!
Such a fun combo, right?! I’m so happy you loved it!
Sooo good! All the flavours work so well together. Tried using pasta shells one time instead of the quinoa and it made the best pasta salad!
Oooh such a fun idea to turn this into pasta salad–I need to do that! Glad you enjoyed it 🙂
Wow! You have the most amazing salad recipes! This is the most delicious sweet & salty combo. Tasty and healthy, who could ask for more!
Aw thank you! I’m so happy you loved this one!
Love this salad! I have this recipe bookmarked as a favourite.
Oh I’m so glad to hear that! Thanks so much for the review 🙂
This is one of the best salads I have ever tasted! I substituted the nuts for pepitas because I have an allergy. Also omitted the jalapeños.
No way!! So happy you love it, Ashleigh 🙂 Great idea to use pepitas.
Delicious! Brought this to a dinner party and had to send the recipe to so many people!
I’m so glad everyone loved it! Thanks for leaving a review, Kenzie 🙂
AK quinoa recipes are always a winner and this one was too! Love the combo of the salty feta/pistachios with the blueberries. For my fellow cilantro-averse people, I replaced with parsley and it turned out great!
I’m so glad you loved it, Becca! Parsley’s a great sub 🙂
This salad is amazing! I’ve shared the recipe with everyone I know and it’s gotten nothing but the highest praise from every single person. It’s so easy to make, delicious and nutritious! So glad I found it!
So summery and delicious! Great lunch salad or side dish at a cookout!
Just made this tonight and my husband and I LOVED it! So tangy and fresh and filling. I pickled the red onions and omitted the cilantro, and for the dressing used just olive oil and lemon juice (with salt and pepper of course). Highly recommend using fresh corn if possible, and even with the avocado this salad was super fresh after hours in the fridge.
I’m so glad to hear that!! LOVE the idea of pickled onions in here. It all sounds amazing 🙂
This may be the best salad I’ve ever tasted – absolute perfection!
Great recipes! Always so varied and tasty.
Love this idea and I so appreciate the section on ingredient swaps. However, I am one of those cilantro haters, so do you have a good substitute for the cilantro in the dressing?
I made this for the first time without any modifications, and I loved it! I will definitely make this again. I made it for dinner guests, and everybody went in for second helpings. Yay!
So happy to hear that! The perfect summer salad 🙂
Interesting flavors and healthy salad that only tasted better after chilling it the next day. Definitely a repeat! Now to try other recipes on your site!
Yay! SO glad you found this recipe and are loving it 🙂
I just made this salad today. It’s fantastic! I used some leftover quinoa so my quantity was only about a cup, but all else was about the same (I have to admit to just kinda sorta measuring).
I’ll be making this one often! So good!
YUM! Love this salad and glad it turned out great for you!
I love all your recipes and flavor profiles. This is my favorite summer salad. Bob’s Red Mill is my favorite quinoa because it’s not at all bitter. I add a little coriander honey to the dressing and even more cilantro to the salad. I amp the protein with poached chicken breast. I’ll eat this six days in a row, so I add fresh avocado and a few pistachios every day. Yum…
Ah yay! I am so glad you’re loving this salad, Cynthia and it turned out great for you 🙂❤️
Great to make and have on hand for a quick meal
Mmmmm….DELICIOUS!!!
Glad you enjoyed!
Very Refreshing! I was hesitant to combine blueberries and jalapeno….but, they actually play well together = )
I’m all about a sweet and spicy combo! Glad you liked it 🙂
Excellent!!! Delish warm or cold. Made as is, added some cooked chicken to up the protein. Will put this recipe in my regular rotation.
Love it! One of my favs for warmer months!
This was such a great summer side dish (or vegetarian main dish). The combination of flavors was on point and the proportions were perfect. Another winner from Monique. Thank you.
So perfect for summer! Glad you enjoyed 🙂
This is the perfect summer salad! The sweetness of the corn and blueberries pairs so well with the cilantro jalapeno dressing. It is super simple to throw together. I added chickpeas for a boost of protein and they were a perfect edition to the salad! #AKRecipeoftheMonth
So easy and delish! Glad you loved it!
Delicious! Super fresh and hearty. I love the unexpected crunch of the pistachios, sweet blueberries, and I LOVE the cilantro dressing. I used farro instead of quinoa and it’s delicious. Can’t wait to eat this for lunch.
#AKRecipeoftheMonth
Such a fun combo! Glad you enjoyed 🙂
This recipe turned out so delicious. We added shredded chicken and spring greens and it was the perfect summer salad!
#AKRecipeoftheMonth
Love that! Great idea to add a boost of protein 🙂
Wow. What an amazing early summer dinner! It got rave reviews from my family and I’m glad I made it early in #AKRECIPEOFTHEMONTH since I may make it again. =) I added some greens and tofu sausages to beef up the nutrients. Thank you!
I’m so glad!! This one’s great for customizing 🙂
This salad was FABULOUS!! Super simple to make and easy meal prep for the week. We added lemon chicken for a protein and used as a lunch!!
This salad was FABULOUS!! Super simple to make. We added lemon chicken and meal prepped this for our lunches for the week. Dressing was tasty too!! #AKRECIPEOFTHEMONTH
Amazing! So glad you loved it!!
Made this for our Father’s Day potluck, and it was a hit! I will definitely be saving this for future gatherings. Perfect for a hot summer cookout. #AKRecipeoftheMonth
Absolutely! Glad everyone loved it!
I absolutely loved the seasonality of this salad! I don’t like cilantro. I made the dressing as is but just took out the cilantro. The dressing turned out great and is something I could see topping other salads with! #AKRecipeoftheMonth
Perfect! Glad you enjoyed even without the cilantro!
This is great! I enjoyed the variety of flavors and textures. The cilantro dressing is nice. I might leave out the blueberries next time. I threw in some kale that needed using, and I can imagine using diced carrots as well. #AKRecipeOfTheMonth
Perfect! This one’s great for customizing 🙂
My new favorite summer salad! I love the combo of flavors and textures! Delicious!
#AKRecipeoftheMonth
So glad you enjoyed!
Just made this tonight for some friends that came over for dinner, and everyone went crazy over it!! The bursts of sweet blueberry make the salad – thanks so much for the delicious recipe. We’ll definitely have this in our rotation.
This recipe was SO good! I’ve already made it twice. I used mango instead of blueberries because it was what I had, and I highly recommend! The dressing is so good too. This is going to become a staple in my rotation.
Love it!!
Sooo good and came together quickly. Loved how fresh it was on a hot summer day. My husband doesn’t do feta (ugh, right?) so we swapped for parmesan and served with grilled chicken. *chef’s kiss!* Want to try with farro next!
Oops! Forgot the hashtag! #AKRecipeoftheMonth
So glad you both enjoyed! Parmesan is a great easy swap 🙂
We’ve been meal prepping this for lunches for a long time, sometimes adding protein such as chickpeas or chicken to make it more filling. It’s one of our favorites, we like to use an immersion blender to make the dressing more easily. Made it again yesterday with sous vide chicken for the protein and it was delicious :). #AKRecipeoftheMonth
Love that!!
#RecipeOfTheMonth
Amazing! Delicious flavor and so easy to throw together. I added a bit of honey to the sauce to cut down a bit on the acidity. Thank you for the recipe!
Delish! I made the recipe as is but added the avocado fresh on top when I served it.
I forgot to add
#AKRecipeoftheMonth
Amazing! So glad you enjoyed 🙂
Delicious salad recipe for the hot summer months. I had my first garden jalapeño, farmer’s market blueberries, and just picked corn. I added an extra half cup or blueberries, and a teaspoon of lime zest to the dressing. Delicious!
Love that! Perfect lunch 🙂
I recently made the Avocado Blueberry Quinoa Salad from Ambitious Kitchen, and it was a huge hit at our family picnic! This salad is not only delicious but also incredibly easy to prepare. The dressing is the true star of this dish—so flavorful and refreshing!
I made a few substitutions and additions to suit my preferences and dietary needs:
Substituted blackberries for the blueberries: They were on sale, and the salad still turned out amazing.
Left off the cheese: I’m allergic to dairy, but the salad was still rich and satisfying.
Added white beans: For an extra protein boost, which worked wonderfully.
Used a large shallot instead of the red onion: It was what I had on hand, and it added a nice, mild flavor.
A tip for fellow salad makers: Definitely use fresh corn. The fresh, sweet quality of corn cut straight from the cob is unbeatable, though it can be a bit tricky to cut. It’s worth the effort!
Overall, this recipe is a keeper. I’ll be making it again for sure!
#AKRecipeoftheMonth
Perfect! This one’s great for customizing 🙂 Glad you enjoyed!
This Avocado Blueberry Quinoa Salad was a definite 10/10 winner! The colors, textures and flavors were spot on and together with the cilantro lime dressing created a great dish. The addition of blueberries made this a perfect refreshing summer salad. #AKRecipeofTheMonth

Yum! Loved this! Even added bacon one day and ate for breakfast. #AKRecipeoftheMonth

Refreshing salad. Great side for burger cook out.
So glad you enjoyed!
Ok this recipe SERVES!!!! the flavors come together so perfectly, I could probably eat the whole bowl in one sitting. The feta with the corn with the red onion with the cilantro; it’s just so yummy! It’s probably going to be just as good cold too! We added those individual chicken packs from Costco for some extra protein on top and it was perfect! I used fresh sweet corn so that added an extra 20-30 minutes to boil and then cool before I cut it off the cob but it was so worth it because that sweet corn was delicious! I would start with boiling the corn then start the quinoa once you’re corn is cooling and everything lines up pretty nicely!
So good!! Glad you love it!
I love love love this salad and have made it many times this summer. The blueberries add a colorful and flavorful touch, while the jalapeno pepper adds a bit of welcome heat. I’m having some friends over and will offer this salad with grilled chicken for a protein boost. Thank you!
So happy to hear that!!
Lunch was so good. Will make it again soon
Glad you loved it!
I followed this recipe as written and it is fabulous! The flavor combinations are perfect. The salad taste like summer, light, bursting with blueberries. I cooked corn on the cob, and then cut it off the cob for my salad. I made the quinoa and corn a day ahead for a quicker assembly for guests the next day. This is a hit and I will definitely make again!
Perfect! So glad you enjoyed!
5 stars IF you double the dressing. It has a nice combination of flavors; sweet, citrusy, salty feta, etc. Also, I would double the dressing ingredients, except the olive oil. Keep that as written originally.
Perfect! Glad you enjoyed 🙂
