Quinoa and Beetroot Salad

Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

Quinoa is one of the most under-rated grains around, in my opinion. It is actually one of the only plant based sources of protein that has all the essential amino acids required by the body to function.

It doesn’t really have lots of flavour so is well paired with other ingredients to absorb their flavours whilst giving you a protein and carbohydrate boost.

This salad is packed full of flavour and some of my favourite ingredients – feta and beetroot.  You could eat this alone for a quick lunch or as a side dish with grilled meats or fish.
