Quinoa has become a pantry staple for many people, myself included, and one of my favorite ways to enjoy it is in a quinoa salad recipe full of vegetables and herbs. Pronounced KEEN-wah<\/em>, quinoa<\/a> is a pretty fascinating ingredient. It’s not a grain but a nutrient-dense seed that’s been around for thousands of years (it was a staple ingredient for the Incas!). You can serve it chilled or warm, like brown or wild rice<\/a>, and because it cooks quickly, it’s a fantastic make-ahead or meal-prep ingredient.<\/p>\n

There are endless quinoa salad recipes<\/a>, but sticking to quinoa mixed with a bright lemon-based vinaigrette and a handful of crisp vegetables like cucumber, cherry tomatoes and bell pepper is a winning and versatile combination. Our quinoa salad recipe makes a fantastic potluck dish, especially when you have vegans and vegetarians in the crowd.<\/p>\n
