This new recipe in Bubi’s kitchen is my favorite vegan quinoa salad. I love doing experiments with food and very often it ends up with some good and edible results :). One of my successful experiments is this awesome and refreshing salad, packed with all nutrients your body needs. This vegan quinoa salad is very light and delicious. It’s made easily with berries, bananas, pomegranate and lime dressing.
Quinoa as a main ingredient is gluten-free and high in protein. It’s one of the few plant foods that contain all nine essential amino acids. It is also high in:
- fibre
- magnesium
- B-vitamins
- iron
- potassium
- calcium
- phosphorus
- vitamin E
It’s really very easy to prepare, you can throw it all together in 15 minutes and it’s delicious! Let me know what you think in the comments bellow!
