With all this beautiful sunny weather we have been having recently in the UK, it makes me fancy more salads for lunch.
Do you find that?
On my meal plan, I had planned on making soup but we just didn’t fancy that when its so warm, so I thought I would make us a quinoa salad today instead.
This Quinoa salad was packed with healthy ingredients and was full of flavour. It was quick and easy to make and we even have some leftovers for tomorrows lunch too. I have added the simple recipe down below.
