Step 1
Preheat oven to 425°F. Peel and slice 4 carrots into thin rounds. Toss with 1 tbsp olive oil and a pinch of salt on a baking sheet. Roast until tender and lightly browned, about 15 minutes.
Step 2
Meanwhile, rinse 1 cup quinoa and cook with 2 cups water in a small pot. Bring to a boil, reduce to low, cover, and simmer until water is absorbed and quinoa is fluffy, about 15 minutes.
Step 3
In a large bowl, combine the cooked quinoa, roasted carrots, 1 cup sliced strawberries, and 0.25 cup pistachios. Drizzle with remaining 2 tbsp olive oil and toss gently.
Step 4
Chop 0.25 cup fresh herbs and sprinkle over the salad. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve warm or at room temperature.
