Lemony Spring Quinoa Recipe

 

 

 

This recipe combines the tasty spring foods you’ll find at the farmers’ markets right now – radishes, mint, arugula, peas, and carrots.

It comes together in about as long as it takes to cook quinoa, during which you can chop the veggies you add in at the end. And it’s delicious – lemony, herbaceous, bright, and flavorful.

It’s also full of anti-inflammatory ingredients that will help you stay healthy today and long-term. Watch for my blog post on Thursday, when I’ll share a week-long meal plan for health and longevity with tasty recipes like this one.

Give it a try and let me know what you think over on Facebook.
