Really Fresh Raw Quinoa Salad (Raw, Vegan, Gluten Free)

UmmBinat's Note:

Derived from the Spanish spelling of the Quechua name, kinwa or occasionally "Qin-wah", Quinoa originated in the Andean region of South America, where it was successfully domesticated 3000 to 4000 years ago for human consumption. Raw diet here I come!!!! Found on http://rawgirl2.blogspot.com.

[Wish I Could Cook]

This was the first recipe I made with my new sprouter and it was great! I thought the taste was excellent, but a little too quinoa-y for me. However if you mix this with a base of lettuce, it's perfect!

This was very good, but I felt it needed a bit of olive oil to make the dressing nicer. Loved the fresh, goodness of it.

This was very fresh & tasty!! Very simple and fast to throw together and a great combination. I served over top of a bed of baby greens and this made a great dinner. Thanks Ummbinat!! Made for Veg*n Swap 24!!
