A fresh and vibrant quinoa salad with a creamy greek yogurt salad dressing and herbs!
I love a good fridge foraging recipe and always try to use up everything I got.
Food waste is a real issue, so I challenge you to see what you have left in your refrigerator and pantry and make it into a salad!
Or you can make this quinoa salad because it’s bomb!
Quinoa is a nutritious grain that is packed with protein and fiber. Making it into a salad is always a good idea as it is very filling!
