It is also a good source of fiber, magnesium, phosphorus, iron, and manganese. Quinoa is a low-glycemic food, which means it won’t spike your blood sugar levels. This is an excellent benefit if you are trying to control your blood sugar or are diabetic. Quinoa is also a good source of antioxidants and has anti-inflammatory properties.

This quinoa salad recipe is very versatile and can be customized to your liking. You can add any vegetables or fruits that you like.

You could also add some grilled chicken or shrimp to complete the meal.

This quinoa salad recipe is perfect for summer BBQs, potlucks, or picnics. It is also a great meal to meal prep for the week. I like to make a big batch on the weekend and then portion it out into individual containers for easy lunches during the week. This salad also reheats well, so it’s great for leftovers.
