Happy Memorial Day! I hope you have the day off and that it is beautiful outside to enjoy some outdoor activities. Even if you just have a few moments to relax outside while the kids play or sip on a glass of wine in a lawn chair. It is a wonderful day to remember the people who defend our country along with spending quality time relaxing with friends and family! If you are attending a cookout and need a last minute dish to bring to the party, I have got you covered with this Cilantro Quinoa Corn Salad.
Quinoa is combined with fresh corn on the cob, jalapeños, tomatoes and creamy avocados and tossed in a fresh homemade Cilantro Lemon Vinaigrette for a light and delicious salad that is perfect as a side with some grilled steak or chicken. Personally I loved it all on it’s own and I packed up a container of this fresh goodness for lunches throughout the week!
Quinoa salads are a great lunch idea because they hold so well and can be enjoyed cold. If you need some more protein, add some shrimp, chicken or any other meat or even some black beans and cheese.
