Kiddo’s Quinoa Salad
Our addiction to quinoa, all started when a friend challenged me to make quinoa taste good. She was convinced that quinoa was just a “glorified dirt”. I was challenged to put together 21 recipes with quinoa and it HAD to taste good. Lucky for me I have 4 built-in super honest taste testers…aka my kiddos! Trust me, if they don’t like it…these little monkeys will find a way to get rid of it or pelt it at each other. However, this quinoa salad passed the test and it is now part of their lunchbox staple!

Mine last about 5 days in the back of the fridge…I keep it in the back because it’s cooler than on the door 🙂
