QUINOA SALAD

GLUTEN FREE

My greatest helper in the kitchen is undoubtedly quinoa!

Why?

I can add it to any dish, and since I am gluten-free I can add texture and flavor to almost anything that requires grains, even lentil patties!

It is also one of the seeds that children at home love and never get tired of eating!

These small seeds, which contain plenty of fiber, protein, vitamins and minerals, have made us wonder why we haven’t come across them until now since they entered our lives…

I try quinoa salad in every way, today’s recipe has spinach in it.
