Every single time we have a family party, my mom’s friend Pamela brings this amazing quinoa salad that I am literally obsessed with! I finally took the initiative today to find out the recipe and make it for myself. It is soo easy to make and definitely worth it :) Here’s the recipe!
Ingredients (you can get all of these ingredients from Trader Joe’s!!)
- 2 cup quinoa (uncooked)
- 3/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 3/4 cup dried cranberry
- 1/2 cup chopped red onions
- Olive oil drizzle
- splash of lime juice (my preference)
Directions:
- Place the quinoa in a saucepan with 4 cups of water. Bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer, cover and cook until all water is absorbed (10-15 minutes).
- Place the cooked quinoa in a bowl to cool, then place in the refrigerator.
- Once chilled, mix all ingredients, and stir.
- Ready to serve!
I recommend this salad for a healthy lunch, or it could be a side at the dinner table! Quinoa is rich in protein, antioxidants, and contains all nine necessary amino acid supplements that your body needs.
Today I woke up early, went to hot yoga with Sara, had Banzai Bowl for breakfast, headed to my friend Sawyer’s house to watch a scary movie (I absolutely hate scary movies), then came home to make dinner with my mom. I’m pretty tired but now I’m thinking about going bowling hehe. Strikeeee
