slice
red onion or sweet onion
cut into half moons
salad dressing of choice
(I like a honey vinaigrette but any light dressing will do.)
Instructions
1. Cook quinoa according to package directions. The quinoa does not have to be hot when served on the salad so preparing ahead of time is fine.
2. Layer salad greens on a small dinner or salad plate.
3. Place a rounded scoop on the quinoa on the bed of greens.
4. Sprinkle remaining ingredients on the plate around the quinoa.
5. Add dressing of choice and enjoy. Tasty and satisfying.
