Quinoa is one of the world’s most popular foods for health-conscious individuals. It’s often referred to as a “superfood” or “supergrain” because it has many benefits and nutrition.

And for us following a special diet, quinoa plays a big part in our meal plan — it serves as one of the alternatives for rice. It’s a good source of vitamins and minerals — such as protein, iron, potassium, fiber, calcium, phosphorus, vitamin E, magnesium, B vitamins, and various other beneficial antioxidants.

It’s not that difficult to make this citrus quinoa. Just toss everything together in a large bowl — cooked quinoa,

raw spinach, dried cranberries, and shaved almonds.

For the vinaigrette, mix in a small bowl with the balsamic vinegar, Dijon, and orange or mandarin juice, then add it onto the salad. Season with sea salt and pepper to taste.

This quinoa salad pairs perfectly with my salmon recipe. Put olive oil into a pan, add garlic, red onion, tamarind paste, soy sauce, and honey. Brush onto the salmon fillet once cooled then bake it in the oven. Check out my sweet tamarind glazed salmon recipe for complete details!
