Hot and Spicy Quinoa Salad
I’ve mentioned more than once before how much I feel the cold. Exercise helps, anything to get the circulation going. Food helps too.. Like this delicious quinoa salad with roasted harissa basted veggies. paired with any meat chicken or fish is great tho’ on this occasion It was enjoyed just as is. The quinoa is really easy to prepare too . Simply cook in in some vegetable stock if you have it until it is light and fluffy and while it is cooking you can be prepping the veg. A pretty good source of protein and combined with these delicious veg, what’s not to like!
