Broccoli quinoa salad
Now that the weather is getting warmer I love preparing quick healthy salads. This broccoli quinoa salad, gluten free and vegan, is refreshing and perfect for on the go as well.
Have you tried to make broccoli rice before? It is extremely easy, delicious and healthy. If you like broccoli this is a different way to prepare it, a great way by the way. Since making this broccoli quinoa salad I have made this recipe already three times. I love preparing broccoli this way now.
I have incorporated it into a rice dish and it was great. My kids loved it. With the quinoa it was actually perfect.
For this broccoli quinoa salad you can add any veggies and nuts of your choice. Next time I will add some legumes. I used pumpkin seeds but even sunflower seeds and pistachios would be good in this salad.
As far as herbs, next time I will add some mint as well. I love mint mixed in in salads. It gives it a very refreshing taste and you will be surprised as to how good it goes with fresh veggies and salad recipes.

I had some quinoa salad for the lunch today too…but with spinach and peas. Must try yours with broccoli soon too. It looks very appetizing and beautiful.
Haven’t tried quinoa for a while, and now you made me feel like it sooo much! Thanks for sharing :)
Hi, this looks awesome but one question….I don’t have a microwave should I steam brocolli first or can I keep it raw?
You can keep it raw or steam afterwards for 3 minutes or so :-)
That looks delicious, I’m on my way to buy the ingredients. How long will this keep in the fridge?
I would say up to 3 days :-)
