Recipe: California Quinoa Salad

July 3, 2015

It’s July 4th weekend and I’m always looking for a healthy side dish to bring to picnics! I found this while searching on pinterest and oh my word! So delish! This will become one of my new staples! I feel like there are a lot of ways you can change this recipe up depending on the type of veggies and flavor you like, so feel free to experiment! This would also be great to make at the beginning of the week during your meal prep to use as a lunch option. Quinoa is a fantastic source of protein and great if you are moving towards a more plant-based diet!

Thanks, pinterest!

(Looking for other side dishes? Try this orzo salad or avocado black bean dip!)
