Quinoa is starting to be my favorite salad these past few days. I had been making variations of Quinoa Salad and I thought why not share it in my blog. I especially like Salad that I can make into one bowl or pan, just like this one. Less mess, quick and easy.

The most that you would do for this salad is to open the cans and cut and chop few ingredients.  After that, all you have to do it mix everything in one pan and simmer until Quinoa is cook through. How easy is that?

I like making this especially for busy days because its quick to prepare, and I can even have the left over stored in the fridge and ready for my next meal. This salad has great flavor in it, lots of flavor actually. All those spices and vegetable combinations really work well together, it taste so good. I can even eat this with Nachos or have it wrapped in Tortillas! So many ways to enjoy this simple and yet delicious salad. Another one pan healthy salad recipe from me to you. Try it!
