If you are looking for a quick and easy salad/meal look no further. This salad is so tasty and filling!

I love quinoa, I love salad, and I love Mediterranean food - this quinoa salad recipe right here is one of my all time favorites because of its amazing nutrient profile.

It is made with cooked quinoa and a variety of fresh vegetables, nuts/seeds, kalamata olives and topped with our homemade oil and vinegar dressing... and there you have it, a delicious meal (or side).

For a sweet or tart addition, feel free to add some pomegranate seeds or chunks of apple.

Enjoy!
