I eat very often quinoa salads. Let’s say 2-3-4 days a week for sure. It is just something I can make so easily, especially if I cook a bit more quinoa once a week, so I can just use it up the next days. I really love it warm, right after the quinoa is cooked or also cold, out of the fridge. For me quinoa salads are just the most perfect way to use up any leftover greens, fresh or roasted veggies, nuts or herbs.
This week I had quinoa salad first with sweet potato, then with pumpkin, then with roasted bell pepper, then the 4th bowl was this one, with sweet potato again. Nothing special, just a simple and easy bowl of wonderful ingredients.

Looks amazing! I really like quinoa too 🙂
Me too. But it is not the most budget friendly food….Plus I have no new recipes for the blog, since I am just eating quinoa everyday 😀
A beautiful combination of ingredients! I should eat more lentils,
this salad would be a great way to add them to my diet.
Thank you! Lentils sounds also amazing, I love to add them to salads too 🙂
