The best recipe for Greek Quinoa Salad
This past weekend I went out of town for my cousin’s wedding shower. When left to his own devices, Shaye won’t cook for himself so I stocked the refrigerator with this quick meal. Preparation is key to following a healthy diet!
When you have good food in the house you eat good food!
This would be a great recipe to prepare on the weekend and have ready for those busy weeknights when the last thing you feel like doing is cooking a meal. Pair this salad with grilled chicken, fish or slice an avocado on top for a vegetarian version. You could even just dump it on top of a bed of greens or yet, eat it straight out of the mason jar!
