Berry Avocado Quinoa Salad

As I've mentioned before, one of my dreams is to have an abundance of raspberries growing in my yard.  If that ever happens, I imagine salads like this will make frequent appearances at our table.  This salad is delicious and healthy.  I love the combination of all the different flavors and textures--juicy berries, salty feta, crunchy almonds, little chewy bits of quinoa.  And just about everything is better with avocado, right?

The first time I made this I served it with store-bought poppyseed dressing.  If I end up trying a good homemade dressing I'll have to add an update.  I'd love to find a good oil-free dressing to put on this healthy salad.
