As we know, salads come in all forms. Simple green salads, hearty salads packed with protein, chicken salad, and grain salads like today’s Quinoa Salad. I prefer a more hearty salad and quinoa salad hits all the boxes. We pack the hearty fiber-filled grain with a zesty lemon and white wine vinegar dressing and the stud the salad with some of our favorite veggies, nutty chickpeas, and sharp provolone cheese. A bright spot in the middle of winter!

There are several things we love about our quinoa salad. First of all, it’s super simple to throw together and can even be made in advance. Two, it’s totally customizable! Not a fan of basil? No big deal, use parsley. Prefer roasted red peppers over fresh bell pepper? Great! The customization are only limited to your creativity and what you’ve got lingering in your fridge.

My OCD tendencies are telling me I probably need to add better photos next time I make it bc these don’t do the sheer deliciousness of this quinoa justice.

You’ll want to grab your favorite olive oil (avocado works gloriously too) and a lemon to squeeze for juice. Add in a little apple cider vinegar to brighten up along with a clove of garlic to amp up the flavor, then season with salt, pepper, and dried oregano leaves.
