Who doesn’t love a good quinoa salad? It’s funny actually, quinoa was something my family didn’t introduce into their kitchen until a couple of years ago. We often prepare it warm, but it also makes really good leftovers as a cold salad. The great thing about quinoa is that it’s not only gluten-free, but it also contains important nutrients such as protein, fiber, and various essential vitamins and minerals. What’s not to love? Quinoa is also incredibly filling, so a little goes a long way. I made this dish for about six people as side dishes and there were still leftovers to spare.
