What You Need for Strawberry Quinoa Salad
We love every part of this quinoa salad recipe because it was carefully crafted to mix sweet and savory flavors and also provide a healthy, filling plant-based meal! “This salad is so good that I ate it for breakfast one day! Lol” – Julie
Quinoa – any color quinoa works, but we love the contrast white quinoa adds to this salad. Kale – don’t love kale? Skip it. Or, add in arugula before serving! Strawberries – the fresher the better when it comes to strawberries. Cucumber – cucumber adds great crunch, You will love it. Basil – we love adding in a fresh herb to our quinoa salad. Try using parsley instead of basil or even oregano! Feta Cheese – Want to keep this recipe 100% plant-based? Skip the feta! Red Onion – a little bit of onion goes a long way. Salad Pizazz Salad Topper – dump an entire bag right in. That’s right, the whole thing!
