Warm Quinoa Salad

Quinoa is packed with fiber and protein. It is a great building block for many flavors. We eat this salad as a meal or a side. It definitely leaves you feeling full and satiated. Fresh ingredients amp up flavor. I hope you enjoy this dish. Adding the shrimp gives you a full, low fat, balanced meal. Very healthy, very flavorful!

For version two. This is so easy to change up. You will cook the recipe in the exact same manner. Just toss in uncooked shrimp when water comes to a boil before adding in quinoa. Cover and simmer the same way. Same timing. Toss in lemon zest and juice when adding in parsley and olives.

There is nothing I like more in the hot summer than cold salads. Quinoa is so versatile and great for you. Feel free to experiment this is my basic recipe. The vinegar that really sends this recipe to a whole other level of flavorful goodness is white balsamic! Once you try white balsamic you'll never want to use any other vinegar. 😀 AmsCookbook -

Greek Style Quinoa Salad Greek Style Quinoa Salad
This makes for a protein packed, fresh lunch. Perfect for if you have some leftover quinoa sitting in the fridge. It keeps for a few days, so it's good for meal prepping. It's also easy to customize it to your liking. If you're not a fan of quinoa, I'm betting this would be really good as a pasta salad, or over some chopped romaine. If you'd like to take the 'bite' out of the raw onions, then soak them in some cold water for a few minutes before adding them. Christina -
