Quinoa Vegetable Salad

by Jennifer

I can tell already that this quinoa vegetable salad is going to be on heavy rotation around here for awhile.  I made a big batch (as in the recipe below) over the weekend and have nibbled on it for lunches and snacks ever since.

Perfect healthy lunch salad - quinoa and fresh vegetables

It’s loaded with veggies and gets a good shot of protein from the quinoa and black beans.  The flavors are all rather gentle but meld together in a really delicious way.  I packed a container in my five year old’s lunch today and she gobbled up every bite.

Perfect for an at-home or on-the-go lunch for adults and kids alike!

Quinoa Vegetable Salad – makes about 5 cups
Ingredients
1 c. quinoa
2 c. chicken broth
1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
1/2 yellow pepper, seeded and chopped
1/2 orange pepper, seeded and chopped
1/2 red pepper, seeded and chopped
1/2 English cucumber, quartered lengthwise and chopped
1 pint grape tomatoes, halved
small fresh mozzarella balls, quartered (as much as you want)
2 tbsp. fresh parsley, chopped
2 tbsp. fresh basil, chopped
1/2 c. extra virgin olive oil
2 tbsp. red wine vinegar

Cook the quinoa in the chicken broth according to package directions.  Set aside to cool slightly.

Meanwhile combine all other ingredients in a large bowl and stir to combine.  Add quinoa, stir again, and serve slightly warm or at room temperature.  Leftovers can be eaten cold or at room temperature.

Meet Jen

I'm a design and DIY lover, decorator, modern home-maker, foodie, fashion enthusiast, and jill-of-all-trades when it comes to home improvement. I'm slowly but surely adding classic-contemporary style to my early 90's colonial home one inch at a time and I'm taking you along for the ride.

It's often messy - there are usually project remnants and toys strewn about - but the making of a home isn't always tidy work and I love showing you how you can make and style and organize your way to a home and a life you love!
