If you’re anything like me, you’re already making yummy foods that are great for Summer. I just love Summer foods, fresh vegetables, and I LOVE salads. This is a great salad for Spring, Summer, Fall, or even Winter. You’ll love it. It’s great as a side or even a main dish!
Ingredients:
2 cups of cooked quinoa (cook the quinoa in vegetable stock for added flavor)

2 green onion stalks, sliced
1/4 cup red onion, chopped
1 cup of cherry tomatoes, sliced in half
2 Tbsp of cilantro, chopped
1/2 English cucumber, diced
1 cooked zucchini, diced (I roasted mine)
1 cup of broccoli, cut small (either raw, steamed or roasted)
4 oz of Feta or Goat Cheese
1/4 cup of Olive oil vinaigrette (your preference)
Directions:
*Make sure you’re using cooked quinoa!
In a large bowl add the cooked quinoa, then all the vegetables, but do not mix just yet.

I love quinoa! This looks like a delicious way to try it, and to have others try it for the first time, too!

Isn't Quinoa the best stuff. I wonder where it was before the year 2000, because before that it simply didn't exist.
