Quinoa Salad!

So fresh!

One thing you will learn about me over time, is that I have a bit of a sweet potato obsession. I tend to add sweet potatoes to things that I really don’t have to, but they are just so so good!

This recipe does not have to have sweet potatoes in it (even though the picture may be misleading). I will make a blog post on how I roast my sweet potatoes, but for now, you must stay tuned for that one.

With all of that said, let’s get right into this recipe!

Ingredients:

• 1 Cup of Quinoa

• 1 Cucumber

• 1/2 Red Onion

• Dill and Mint

• Lemon/Olive Oil (for dressing) and salt!

Directions:

• Boil water and add quinoa - cook for approx. 15 minutes (or refer/default to what the package says for cook time)

• Let quinoa cool while prepping other ingredients

• Add all ingredients to a bowl, add dressing, and mix!

• Sweet potatoes are certainly not required for this recipe, but if you wish to add them, I PROMISE I will make a post all about sweet potatoes and how I roast them to perfection!

And there you have it! This salad is so hearty and is perfect for when the weather is beginning to warm up - this salad would also be KILLER alongside some grilled or roasted chicken for some added protein!

Enjoy!
