Colorful Gluten Free Quinoa Salad

iMAGE: Quinoa Salad Vegetables

I’m not one big on quinoa salad, as I usually enjoy my food either cold or hot. And most of the gluten free quinoa salad recipes I’ve tried are not flavorful enough for me. I finally got this recipe right, though. The pineapple really makes this dish flavorful, so much that I didn’t even need a dressing. You can always top it with lemon, though, for even more flavor, or even your favorite salad dressing. In addition, if you replace the corn with other vegetables, you can makes this dish not only gluten free, but corn-free and grain-free. I hope you enjoy this recipe, as it brings a lot of color to the table. Continue reading “Colorful Gluten Free Quinoa Salad”
