There always seems to be a salad of some sorts on the table in the summer. So versaitlity and accessbility are major factors in my recipes. I will often cook a big batch of quinoa and make two different kinds of salads with it for the week. This “Greek Quinoa Salad” is fantastic paired with grilled chicken, or add a can of chickpeas and have it as the main dish!!
