I have to admit that although there is the word salad in the title of this recipe, it only slightly resembles a salad, but it’s great for lunch or dinner. I want to thank Jamie Oliver for inspiring me with his own quinoa salad. It may look like a hot mess in the picture, but I promise it’s a burst of flavor in each bite. Now, let’s cook!
