Try this summer suited quinoa salad recipe that is extremely healthy and easy to make. The recipe is loaded with protein, vitamins, minerals and fiber. It is low in fat and strengthens my immune system and digestive system. I have used fresh spring - summer vegetables like yellow squash, cucumber and green peas for my salad and sprinkle fresh dill over it for some extra freshness. Although the recipe is highly experimental feel free to add cheese, cooked chicken and any other vegetables that are available in your kitchen.
