Two years ago, I had never even heard of quinoa. Then we ran into it at Costco and I got curious. You can read more about quinoa here. Since then I’ve experimented with various quinoa recipes. In this recipe, we have quinoa as a salad with a Greek salad dressing. You can vary the vegetables to suit your preferences and what you have on hand.
I’ll be posting other quinoa recipes in the near future.

I love to cook. I’m also a health coach, a path I chose after going through a health crisis which taught me the importance of eating healthy meals. Now, I want to combine the two — health coaching and cooking — to help people learn to cook healthy meals. To plan healthy meals. And to eat healthy meals. For more, please visit Your Cooking Coach.

Thanks for sharing this recipe. I love, love, love quinoa in salads. There is an amazing spinach/quinoa salad that I got a few weeks ago from Green Vegetarian. Look forward to trying your recipe, since spinach is pretty much the only lettuce I like!
Thanks, Ashleigh. We don’t eat a lot of other “lettuces” either. Although, I have a tasty Kale salad coming up soon!
