Summer, summertime and all great tasting light dishes are welcome. I need nourishment but hate to feel too full when I eat. This quinoa salad served chilled hits the spot in all areas including tummy satisfaction, good nutrition and feeling cool during the warmer months of the year.
I basically threw in any veggies that looked good into my cooked quinoa and then topped it off with pomegranate. Delish!
Keep cool people…
