Quinoa & Sweet Potato Salad

Tuesday, March 26, 2019



Spring is here, and also the get ready for summer body.  A few months back I made a great tasty lunch,and I thought this would be a great addition for anyone needing a quick healthy recipe. In just 35 minutes you”ll have the most satisfying salad EVER!
Roasted veggies, quinoa, cranberries, cashews, and edamame some of my favorites ingredients. It is gluten free, vegan and vegetarian, and even if you decided to make this salad for the upcoming holidays, I can assure you your family will love it.

    Let’s talk about preparing this salad. 

Simply cut your sweet potatoes into cubes and season it with the ingredients below; however if you wish to add other ingredients to your potatoes by all means do so. Bake your sweet potatoes for 25 minutes and TA-DA! is going to smell A-MAZING! 
For your quinoa you can use whatever quinoa you have on your pantry, I only had the multicolored and I absolutely love the way it looks on the salad. The quinoa you can follow the directions based on your box. I don’t really like (non-tasty Quinoa) so I always try to improvised and add ingredients to intensify the flavor. I used vegetable broth, salt, and also I’m really loving Eatloisa adobo seasonings. It gave the quinoa so much flavor and it taste so delicious. If you don’t have eatloisa adobo you can add whatever you’d like to the quinoa or just skip this part. With the vegetable broth and salt it also taste really good.

Also, chop up you spinach and toss all the ingredients together. If you don’t have spinach you can use any greens.
Super easy, right?!
