Quinoa, Courgette and Micro green salad



Lately I can’t get enough of quinoa. I use it everywhere I can. Soups, salads, desserts. Everywhere.
 



This salad is my latest obsession. It is easy to make but still is very nutritional. Made of quinoa, courgette, micro greens, lemon and olive oil. Easy peasy!


Quinoa salad definitely is going to be must-have in my picnic basket as soon as weather in Ireland gets better. Fingers crossed it’s going to be soon...
