Today I’d like to introduce my favorite quinoa salad. I’ve made dozens of different quinoa salads and bowls in the past, but this one is simply the best. Why?
Because this vegan warm quinoa salad is refreshing, spicy, and delicious. While I love eating it as a warm dish, you can enjoy this quinoa salad cold as well. I usually make a big portion to have my lunch ready for more than one day.
The quinoa salad is made of quinoa, red capsicum, fresh coriander (or parsley if you prefer), onion, garlic, turmeric, chili, and salt.
