Green Salad with Quinoa is a vibrant dish that blends fresh greens, nutrient-rich quinoa, and a variety of colorful vegetables. Originating from health-focused cuisine with roots in South American quinoa cultivation, this salad often incorporates ingredients such as spinach, lettuce, cherry tomatoes, cucumbers, and avocado. The quinoa, a gluten-free grain, is packed with protein, fiber, and essential amino acids, making it a nutritional powerhouse. Complemented by heart-healthy fats from olive oil or avocado and the crunch of assorted veggies, this salad is a balanced option for meals or light snacks. Typically dressed with a lemon vinaigrette or similar dressing, it provides a refreshing tang without overwhelming calories. While healthy overall, care should be taken with added toppings like cheese or sugary dressings, which can increase fat or calorie count. Perfect for vegetarian and vegan diets, this salad is both wholesome and delicious, celebrating a fusion of flavor and nutrition.
