Just made this. Absolutely delicious. This would be great to bring to a potluck too. So colorful!

Great with some feta and black olives too!

A very tasty dish. I cooked chicken in the air fryer to go along with it, and I got no complaints from the family. This salad is a big winner!

Excellent recipe. I was hesitant about the dressing mixing lime and cumin AND maple syrup but told myself to just go for it and really liked it! Had some over some greens and sliced in a bit of avocado. Good to find a different salad recipe with healthy ingredients, protein and an awesome dressing that doesn’t have mayo for once!

Absolutely delicious!

Love this salad! I have made the original version many times either for my family or to take to potluck picnics. I have always added shredded carrots and very small cauliflower florets to this recipe and it has been loved by many! I’m sure the addition of organic corn and tomatoes would also be awesome!
I really like the lime and cumin flavors in this salad.

My family and I love this quick, nutritious dish. I used frozen bell peppers (see TIP) to cool the salad further. TIP – To save money and prep time buy those “on sale” bell peppers, then wash, deseed, chop, and freeze. Cooked Quinoa stores well in freezer also!
Love all the addition suggestions have to try some next time.

This was so incredibly satisfying. Every aspect of it!! Used multicolor quinoa and fresh parsley in place of cilantro. I like mine on a bed of raw greens with extra dressing drizzled on top. Best quinoa salad Ive ever had!!!

This salad is sooo delicious! It’s become a regular in my meal prep rotation and I always look forward to eating it when lunch time rolls around! I usually add a boiled egg on the side for a bit of extra protein.

My husband loves this. I made it exactly as listed, except I did not use cilantro because my husband doesn’t like it. I did use the maple syrup, and I think it needs it for that little extra “something“. I am always looking for nutritious salads that I can leave in the fridge for him to snack on. I believe this is a keeper.

This is a great, healthy meal prep recipe! I also added a finely diced and seeded jalapeño since I love spicy food. The dressing does lose it’s flavorful punch if it’s mixed in a day beforehand, so I recommend setting some aside and drizzling it on top the day(s) you plan to eat it…. A sprinkle of Tajin is also delicious. Looking forward to making this as a vegan option for an upcoming night in with friends!
