It's no secret that I love a good quinoa salad, and this one is the perfect blend of flavors and textures! Quinoa is a powerhouse food that's technically a seed, and has a bunch of protein, fiber and nutrients. Mixing it with other superfood ingredients takes it to the next level, This is a great meal prep recipe for lunches, the side dish you'll want to bring to every summer cookout and the one your friends and neighbors will ask you for. Give this a try and you won't regret it!
