Author's note
This quinoa salad is really tasty as well as being healthy! It is a great recipe if you are doing an alkaline diet too.
Quinoa is gluten-free, with a low sodium and high fiber content. It is also a good source of protein and vitamin E, B, manganese, magnesium, iron, copper and phosphorous. It has another benefit in that it is an alkaline food. This means that it helps the blood to keep a healthy PH level. This is essential for good health.
Feel free to experiment by adding different vegetables. I didn't add tomato because it belongs to the nightshade family and is very acidic.
Enjoy!
