This looks so good and simple to prepare! I love quinoa, it’s so versatile and healthy too.
Thanks, Melissa 🙂
Yum! Quinoa is definitely one of my favourite things to eat too – looks absolutely amazing.
Thank you, Josefine!
Quinoa is just so wonderful, it’s the best side dish, salad, pizza and burger base, I also love to use quinoa flour, I guess it’s just the best food ever 😉
This is so simple and healthy, not to mention gorgeous. You’ve taken my favorite summer foods and put them in one stunning dish Evi. I’d definitely pack this for a picnic. 🙂
Hahaha, you’ve just figured out why I made this salad 😉
Evi, this quinoa salad sounds like THE BOMB. I’m the same during the summer: all I want is a big, refreshing salad. Can’t wait to try this! I actually have all the ingredients in my kitchen so maybe I will make it for dinner tonight 🙂
Thanks, Genevieve!
Big salads and cold soup are all I eat in the summer 😉
Just love this type of salad, Evi. Fresh, light, healthy – perfect for summer. I’ve never added mango to a salad before but that sounds like the perfect addition. Looking forward to trying this!
Thanks, Geraldine! I really love fruits in salads, mango is one of my favourites 😉
I’ve been eating plenty of salads during the warmer weather that we’ve experiencing in the UK. This looks wonderful, the flavour combination sounds amazing, just need to pick up some sun dried tomatoes on my travels in order to make this.
Thanks, Charlene! 🙂
I can’t wait for summer. Love the flavours <3
Thanks, Charanya!
