Easy Quinoa Salad

When I was growing up, salads were treated as a side in our family. Nowadays when prepared well they can be a very filling and satisfying meal.

This very simple quinoa salad is so easy and quick to prepare. It has a slight Asian twist to it with a little bit of a ginger & garlic punch – great for immune system in the colder months of the year.

Happy eating with STOMPAPPAREL :)
