Watermelon Quinoa Salad with Fermented Honey

Watermelon Quinoa Salad with Fermented Honey

When GloryBee gifted us a bottle of fermented honey, we were intrigued, inspired and so impressed by the unique and delicious flavor! They also hinted that it goes really well with watermelon, feta and fresh basil. Taking their advice, we whipped up this simple watermelon quinoa salad, perfect for a summer afternoon.
