Super Quinoa Salad
Incorporate more quinoa into your diet with this easy salad recipe from Mary McCartney. It makes the perfect side dish or base for salad. Quinoa is a brilliant form of protein and a ‘superfood’, so I am always keen to come up with different recipes that incorporate it. As I love salads and dressings, this is one of my preferred ways of eating quinoa. Served with a piece of toast spread with hummus, it’s perfect for lunch.
