There are not nearly enough huckleberries on this website, so here is one for the huckleberry lovers out there. Blueberries could also be substituted. Can be served hot or at room temperature.

Lots of flavor in this dish and so refreshing on a summer evening! I had to make some substitutions (pearl couscous instead of quinoa and lime instead of lemon), but wanted to write a review since no one else had reviewed it yet. The citrus flavor is nicely offset by the rich, salty nutty-ness of the sunflower seeds. The huckleberries surprised me by not being distracting. Thanks for the great non-dessert huckleberry recipe! I'll be making this again. Read More

There no huckleberries to be bought here, I used pomegranate seeds! It is tasty but I felt it needed a bit more so I added some fresh basil chopped to it. The green makes it even more colorful and added the bit of flavor I was looking for. Maybe diced cucumber I’m thinking. This really is great as is and serves as a base to be creative with depending what you have on hand. Read More
