It's a beautiful sunny day and I made myself a healthy lunch, a Summer Quinoa Salad. Quinoa is a low glycemic gluten-free grain that's very high in protein (16%-20% protein compared to rice (7%) and wheat (14%)). It's super healthy and delicious.
I added a lot of fresh veggies & herbs to my quinoa salad:
- Tomatoes
- Cucumber
- Carrots
- Red pepper
- Avocado
- Spinach leaves
- Herbal salt
- Pepper
- Basil
- Extra virgin olive oil
Best thing is, I made 2 portions so I can take the second portion to work tomorrow! Yay!
I had some fresh strawberries for dessert, these babies are packed with antioxidants and vitamin C.
