About

This salad is full of flavour and would make a very nice lunch or summer supper. It goes together fairly quickly once the quinoa is cooked. The above photo is a stock image of a similar quinoa salad.

Helpful Hints

Serve on a bed of alfalfa sprouts and garnish with pine nuts.
Try adding blanched asparagus, diced roasted sweet peppers or pan-fried tofu to flesh this out a bit more and add more colour.
