This salad is the perfect option for spot of lunch over summer. It is super easy to prepare and is full of complex, nutty flavours. A cup of cooked quinoa has more than 39 grams of carbohydrates - pretty much the same amount as in white rice. Quinoa however is complex carb which provides a more sustainable source of energy than white rice (simple carbohydrate). A great way to stay fuller for longer especially in those summer months.
