Quinoa Sundried Tomato and Pesto Salad is a vibrant dish inspired by Mediterranean flavors, combining nutrient-rich ingredients for a delicious and wholesome meal. The base consists of protein-packed quinoa, a gluten-free grain alternative known for its essential amino acids. It’s tossed with earthy sun-dried tomatoes, fresh spinach, and creamy pesto, which adds a burst of aromatic basil and garlic. This salad is rich in fiber, vitamins, and healthy fats from olive oil and pine nuts in the pesto, supporting heart health and digestion.
