Quinoa salad is surprisingly tasty and healthy! Its fairly quick to make and can easily serve a large group of people and keeps well, so its a great dish to share at a vegan potluck or picnic.
Whole grain quinoa cooks quicker than most grains and is an excellent source of protein with about 11 grams of protein per cup of cooked quinoa. Feel free to experiment by adding different veggies such as zucchini, corn or even kale or spinach greens. Not sure what quinoa is or how to use it? See What is quinoa?
