Thai Quinoa Salad Recipe

 

 

I recently made this Thai quinoa bowl for dinner at our house, and I realized I had never shared the recipe with you on the blog. It’s too good not to share!

It’s an easy quinoa bowl with a zesty, Asian-inspired dressing you are going to love. I also add a little homemade hot sauce (recipe available in the Alkaline Winter Recipe E-Book), which is optional if you like a little spice. 

Quinoa, in case you haven’t noticed, is one of my favorite ingredients to cook with. It’s good for you and makes a good substitute for all of the grains that are NOT good for you. For more on which grains to eat and which to avoid, be on the lookout for my blog post on Thursday.

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