I’ve recently gotten more and more into quinoa! My oldest daughter, Bella, is a nutrition major, and she’s always reminding me how important it is to get enough fiber in my diet.
Quinoa is not only high in fiber—it’s also a complete protein! So naturally, I’ve started incorporating it into more and more recipes, including this salad.
It’s not my original recipe, but I think we can all agree that Jennifer Aniston looks amazing—so I see absolutely no reason to change a thing. Just make it and enjoy! 😉
