This simple quinoa salad is packed with plant based protein and uses just 5 ingredient. If you have more time and want to add even more flavor (and texture) try adding some fresh cilantro, sliced scallions and diced avocado to this dish.
It’s absolutely delicious served with grilled chicken or fish.
