It's Super Delicious,

Every ingredient in this quinoa recipe is super delicious on its own!
Bringing them all together creates a very delicious quinoa salad. It's full of flavors and bold textures. It tastes incredibly awesome.
The red currants have a sweet-sour taste that complements the flat taste of squash.
Toss this quinoa salad with a flavorful dressing. For us, we go simple, we love combining some balsamic vinegar, cold-pressed olive oil, and some little salt to add flavor.
The touch of the lemon juice adds that zesty taste.

Very Easy to Make

You'll make this salad in no time if you have all the ingredients in your pantry. The only ingredient that needs time for preparation here is quinoa.
Make sure to cook it in advance or use leftover. Cooked quinoa can keep up to a week in your fridge. Therefore, consider cooking a batch of it.
The rest of the ingredients need to be chopped and diced, combine everything in a large salad bowl and your quinoa salad is ready to be savored.

It's Full of Antioxidants

This quinoa salad is refreshing, made with superfoods to give you antioxidants that will protect and repair your body at a cellular level.
To have a variety of antioxidants and other healing properties choose lots of colorful veggies and fruits.
The more colorful a veggie or fruit is, the high antioxidant content it has.
This quinoa salad is high in vitamins C, A, & E that act as antioxidants.
To get the most benefits from this quinoa salad, do buy fresh produce because that's when the veggies and fruits are rich in nutrients.
Remember that veggies and some fruits start losing their nutrients immediately after harvest. This is quite unfortunate for us in big cities!

This Quinoa Salad is Nutritious

Made with nutrient-dense ingredients like quinoa, almonds, and avocado, this salad is nourishing and will leave satiated for hours.

This quinoa salad has proteins, vitamins, carbohydrates, and healthy fats to feed your body as a complete meal.

It's Kids Friendly

Oh, kids! I know how hard sometimes it can be to feed kids.
Even if my daughter loves this salad the way it is, I'd suggest you customize it for your kids.
The currants are acidic in taste, you can reduce these and add more strawberries and avocados.
Chop the ingredients very finely, especially the nuts. This will help kids to have less job in chewing.
Cooking quinoa is an issue for some people, learn how to cook quinoa perfectly. Cooked quinoa has to be soft and tender.

It's Budget-Friendly

Now, this is something I keep in mind when I want to share recipes with you. The ingredients are easily available in your market, and they are affordable.

The best is to make this salad when most of the ingredients are in season.

Is Quinoa Salad Good for Weight loss?

This quinoa salad is perfect for weight loss. It has healthy fats, and it's full of fiber that will keep you satiated for long.
The yellow squash, cucumber, tomatoes, and berries are full of water, which will hydrate your cells. They are low in calories because of their high water content and low sugar levels.
In general, quinoa is great for weight loss, what matters is what it's combined with and the sauce used to make quinoa salads.

Can Quinoa Salad be Frozen?

While you can definitely freeze some quinoa salads, I'd not recommend freezing this quinoa salad recipe.
The ingredients are high in water, which would make the salad soggy.
The same applies to meal prep. Even though the quinoa will absorb the water content if you packed this salad, the berries and avocado will not hold well for long.
But having cooked quinoa in your fridge will help you compose this salad in no time!
