This Mediterranean quinoa salad recipe shows that quinoa seems to be everywhere these days… and for good reason. It is a high protein, low-fat, gluten free and is also high in essential minerals like iron and magnesium.
We have been using it for a while now at our house as a more nutritious substitute for rice and sometimes pasta. I actually prefer the taste and firmer texture to rice or couscous.
This recipe is one that we always made with couscous and have now adapted to quinoa. The great thing about this recipe is that it can be served hot or cold. We served it hot as a side dish with some chicken souvlaki and tzatziki last week.
The leftovers were served as a cold quinoa salad the next day and was just as delicious. For extra flavour we sometimes add some crumbled feta cheese too.
