Quinoa Salad with Salmon – so delicious, nutritious and easy to make. It takes only 20 minutes to make and it’s perfect for dinner or lunch. Full of bright and zesty flavors it’s a great healthy family meal.
Today, I am going to share with you a very simple quinoa salad with salmon. The dressing in this salad makes all the difference though – quick and easy to make and yet it has a sophisticated taste.
The flavor is truly amazing – white wine vinegar, water, coconut sugar, garlic and jalapeno slices are mixed together and cooked for a couple of minutes on the cooktop. It adds a really nice sweet tangy taste to the salad and pairs well with the salmon.
