When you search for recipes for quinoa, you'll find a lot of salad recipes available. I found this recipe for Quinoa Salad With Sugar Snap Peas in my endless stack of recipes torn from magazines.
I come home for lunch almost every day and am always looking for something new to eat. This is a great salad for a summer picnic or family reuinion. It's easy to put together and won't spoil in the heat. The sugar snap peas and the chives add a nice color and crunch to the quinoa. I substituted sunflower seeds for the pumpkin seeds. This salad has lots of possiblities, different nuts or veggies. I think I will try it with asaparagus next time.

Hearing a lot about quinoa lately, your salad looks delicious! I really have to try it one of these days!
ReplyDeleteThis is a great meal for lunch-it's fresh, healthy and delicious. Awesome.
ReplyDeletebtw, thanks for your comment about my fresh eggs. i really do feel lucky to get my hands on them. I have learned over the last few years, that most chicken breeds do not lay white eggs-only commercial ones.
Take care.
Oh my... you know this is right up my alley. I can't wait to try this!

What a wonderful salad. The snap peas add a perfect crunch and texture to this dish. It's perfect for this time of year. I hope you are having a great day. Blessings...Mary
ReplyDeleteThis looks great! I've been wanting to try and my husband loves sugar snap peas, so this may be our ticket.
ReplyDeleteThe Thai place that they ate at was in South Omaha - Laos Thai Market. He said they had some kind of seafood-cumin soup, chicken pad thai, and spring rolls while they were there.
Just jumping back in to thank you for the birthday wishes. Hugs...Mary
ReplyDeleteSo crunchy and good for you fresh. I'm going to make this for sure! Thanks, and have a great week.
