About Quinoa salad
Quinoa Salad is a vibrant, nutrient-packed dish originating from South American cuisine, where quinoa has been a staple food for centuries. This wholesome salad typically features a base of cooked quinoa, a gluten-free superfood rich in protein, fiber, and essential amino acids. It's often mixed with fresh vegetables like cherry tomatoes, cucumbers, and bell peppers, and can include ingredients like avocado, chickpeas, or feta cheese for added flavor and texture. Dressed with a light vinaigrette made of olive oil and lemon juice, it offers a refreshing, tangy taste. Quinoa Salad is a heart-healthy option, as it’s low in saturated fats and high in antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals such as magnesium and potassium. While naturally nutritious, portion control is key, as add-ins like cheese or oil can increase calorie and fat content. Perfect as a main or side, it is both nourishing and satisfying.
