Quinoa Salad

One of my favorite ways to enjoy quinoa is quinoa salad! It is easy to make, healthy and great for anyone who is busy! Simply cook a big batch of quinoa when you have time and always have some on hand in your refrigerator. It will keep in a sealed container for up to a week. Then, you can whip up a quinoa salad recipe in less than 10 minutes! Cold quinoa salad makes great leftovers and is perfect for a packed lunch!

Lately I’ve been feeling that the quinoa salad recipes I make for the family on a regular basis have gotten a little…redundant. Not that they aren’t super yummy, but when you eat quinoa as much as we do after a while it can get a little boring. So, I decided to liven things up a [...]

I don’t know about you but when I’m feeling like there is more to do in a given day than I can possibly get done, I find myself reaching for foods that are….less than ideal.   I could blame the fact that my boys had a fleeing infatuation with bagel chips (and the hubby bought [...]

Quinoa salad recipes are my go to meals when I’m short on time and trying to eat healthy. Often I will make a huge quinoa salad on Sunday afternoon, not for a meal that day but to have in the fridge during the week.  That way if I get busy I can grab a quick [...]

I can’t say what my favorite thing is about this Mexican Quinoa Salad was.  The taste was fabulous, but I really loved the texture too.  And, of course I love how colorful it is.  Colorful dishes make me smile because I know getting a pretty picture will be easy. At the end of the day, [...]

I’m pretty sure this summer is getting the best of me.  You might recall me saying that I took 10 days off at the beginning of this month.  During this time, I stayed away from the computer – and the kitchen – as much as possible.  That’s not to say that I didn’t cook.  I [...]

Last week I shared with you my first attempt at a kañiwa recipe and since then I’ve been dying to try using it again.  So, when I decided to make this chickpea salad, in stead of using all quinoa I decided to see how it worked when I blended the two.  If you haven’t given [...]

I finally did it!  I finally made quinoa sprouts! Yes, I am well aware that I should not be quite so proud of myself for a culinary feat that doesn’t even involve cooking.  But I am. You see, me and quinoa sprouts have a very tumultuous relationship. I love sprouts.  I mean I really, really [...]

We went to a really bad Greek restaurant a few weeks ago, and since then I’ve been craving a good Greek Salad.  I decided to come up with a Greek Salad Recipe that used quinoa, but was a traditional lettuce based Greek Salad and would stand just as well without it.  You may wonder why on earth [...]

Of all the cookbooks I’ve purchased lately, the one that I’m most obsessed with is Raising the Salad Bar. I know my last post was inspired by it and I’m almost embarrassed to say that this one was too.  It’s just so good.  I spent an afternoon with it one day last week saying to [...]
