A quinoa salad for people who don't like quinoa
feat. 15g of protein per serving 🥜
Admittedly an odd way to introduce a quinoa recipe is to confess that I don’t really like quinoa. Simply put – as I’m sure many of you will agree – it has all the qualities of bird food.
But! It’s also an incredible superfood – being gluten-free, a complete protein, high in fiber, and rich in minerals and all. It’s quite inexpensive, too, making it a great way to bulk up the nutritional content of your [human] meals.
In order to actually enjoy quinoa, I basically need to masquerade it with other strong flavors. This edamame quinoa salad, for instance, is tossed in a nutty, citrusy peanut dressing, which makes the quinoa fade into the background and helps the crunchy fresh vegetables stand out.
This salad is super easy to make, and works as either a plant-based main course or a side dish…
