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!

Asian Quinoa Salad

I love this Asian Quinoa Salad, which is actually kind of odd because I’ve never been a huge fan of Asian flavors. But I think that is changing. (At least a little.) After three years of almost daily salads (Or according to Alex & Christian “stinky salads”) with this balsamic vinegar dressing, I’ve burnt myself [...]

I’ve been using chia seeds in salad dressings for a couple of years, and to be honest I don’t see ever going back to the full fat versions. Even though I don’t avoid all oil and fat in my diet (a la Eat to Live), I definitely see the benefits of cutting back, especially in [...]

Today, I’m officially crawling out from under my rock and posting again! It’s been two weeks, which may have been the longest I’ve gone without posting in the last year. This time the only excuse I have is travel and a serious case of spring fever. It’s not that I haven’t been cooking – [...]

It’s been almost four days since I’ve posted a new quinoa recipe – which is the longest I’ve gone in a very long time. It’s not that I haven’t wanted to, or that I am not excited by all of your great survey feedback and the early release of my my book in hardback. It’s [...]

I’ll have to say, the last couple of weeks have been a whirlwind for me. First, the survey – which I was simply amazed at just how many of you were willing to take the time to give me feedback. (So many I’m still sorting through!) Then, my book gets released almost two months ahead [...]

Although my passion for quinoa patties is no secret, the reality is that the one thing my refrigerator is rarely without is a quinoa salad recipe of some sort. Although the boys don’t necessarily agree with most of my garlic filled quinoa salads, I happen to think they are the perfect lunch or snack. Increasingly, [...]

I hate to say this twice in the span of a week…but you really should try this quinoa recipe. It is absolutely delicious and given the fact that it is “chicken salad”, surprisingly low in calories. I made this recipe last week on a massive cooking day, and posted that I had made a curried [...]

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 [...]
