This was so good, even yummier that I thought it would be, to be honest.
Recently we were headed to a summer potluck and I needed to bring a side. I headed to the store to grab something, but I did not know what I was going to make yet. So I racked my brain in the store and this is what I came up with, Greek Salad With Quinoa.
It’s gluten free and really healthy. Quinoa is a great source of a complete protein. So this is a great vegetarian and gluten free dish. If you wanted it to be vegan just leave out the cheese.
Let me know if you try it.. it’s great!
