Quinoa Salad is a delicious and nutritious dish inspired by South American cuisine, where quinoa has been cultivated for centuries. This vibrant salad typically features cooked quinoa as its base, combined with fresh vegetables like cucumbers, cherry tomatoes, bell peppers, and red onions, along with optional add-ins like chickpeas, avocado, or feta cheese. Tossed in a zesty dressing made with olive oil, lemon juice, and herbs such as parsley or cilantro, it offers a refreshing blend of flavors and textures. Quinoa, a protein-packed ancient grain, is rich in fiber, vitamins, and minerals, making this salad an excellent choice for those seeking a balanced and satisfying meal. Naturally gluten-free and customizable to suit various dietary preferences, it’s ideal for vegetarians, vegans, and anyone looking for a healthy option packed with essential nutrients.
