Asian Quinoa Salad

Asian Quinoa Salad

In my latest post, I shared with you a tutorial on how to cook Quinoa. Today I will show you how to make a delicious Asian Quinoa salad with it.

Asian Quinoa Salad

Quinoa is a great alternative to other grains such as rice or couscous, and it tastes so good. This power-packed superfood has a lovely neutral flavour, with earthy undertones, almost nutty, that makes it the perfect base for all sorts of salads.

Asian Quinoa Salad

This simple and fast Asian inspired salad is nutritious, tasty and perfect for both lunch and dinner. It also makes for a great lunchbox alternative, especially if you add your choice of protein to it (like grilled chicken or a poached egg) to make it a balanced meal. This recipe is naturally gluten-free and low fodmap, so it’s also great for people with digestive issues.
