An Easy Spinach & Quinoa Salad

Pin It

If you're new to my blog, then you need to know something about me:

I don't like to cook.

 

Whew!  Ok, I feel better now that you know that.

 

Now, just because I don't like to cook, doesn't mean that I won't do it.  I will make something if it is easy and tasty (and preferably not devoid of any kind of nutritional value).

 

Enter, an easy Spinach & Quinoa Salad:

 

I like this recipe, which I got from my sister-in-law, for many reasons, but highest on my list is that it is easy!

 

 

Here are the ingredients:

- 2 cups quinoa cooked (that would be 1 cup uncooked)

- 4 cups spinach

- 1/3 cup feta cheese, crumbled

- 1/6 cup green onion, chopped

- 1/4 cup sun dried tomatoes, chopped

- 1 clove garlic, minced

- 1 Tbsp. balsamic vinegar

- 1/8 cup olive oil



 

Instructions:

1)  Cook quinoa according to instructions (*Tip: Cook quinoa in vegetable or chicken broth for extra flavor)

2)  Toss all ingredients in large bowl.

3)  Chill in refrigerator for 2 hours before serving.

 

That's it!  Toldja it was easy! :)

I came across this great tutorial about food photography the other day.  (If you've ever tried to photograph food, then you know that it has a whole new set of challenges compared to other types of photography.)  I read it after I had taken the pics above, but found it super-informative.  I will definitely read and re-read it before my next food photo session.  Hope you find it helpful!
 

Have a good day!
