Lemon Parmesan Quinoa Salad

If you’re into warm salads, then you’re going to love this one!

It’s hearty, filling, full of flavor, and super easy to make.

You can serve alongside a protein or add slices of cooked chicken, beef, or shrimp.

The weather has been cold lately, even here in Miami believe it or not, so I crave comfort food.

Since it’s January, I avoid making casseroles due to their high caloric content. This delicious Lemon Parmesan Quinoa Salad gives me that warm feeling without the guilt.

I make quinoa often and have cooked quinoa in my fridge at all times. It saves me time and with it I can make a plethora of dishes.

Remember my Turkey Quinoa One Pot Meal? or my One-Pot Quinoa Arroz Con Pollo? They’re made in no time with my simple trick.

Now I can add another recipe to my quinoa dishes. This one is made with Kale in a delicious lemon vinaigrette.

This one I tried in a restaurant in Wynwood and I got hooked! As soon as I got home I had to reproduce it.

After a few tweaks this recipe was complete. You can use veggie that’s about to go bad in the fridge. All of them work so well with this aromatic lemon vinaigrette.

I hope you can try this delicious
