I love making quick recipes with quinoa and all kinds of veggies and I always like to add just a small amount of fruit. In this recipe I added peach which brought a nice touch of freshness and sweetness to this salad. This recipe is actually a variation of my spinach and mushroom quinoa .

This recipe works well as a side dish or as an easy quinoa salad. It’s vegetarian, gluten free, low fat and low in carbohydrates. Finely sliced sweet peach contrasts nicely with savory ingredients (quinoa and vegetables). This light and lean recipe is perfect for the Summer!Quinoa with vegetables, quinoa recipes, vegetarian recipes

    Looks good except for the high sodium content. Not sure why it’s extremely high given the ingredients.

      Please note that the sodium content is in mg. It’s only 2 % of daily value, so it’s not high at all. Some vegetables have sodium in them naturally.

    This could have been more flavourful. It was too bland for me I am afraid. I added lime juice, cumin powder, chilli flakes and onion tomato paste to make it more interesting.
