This super green quinoa salad with fresh basil is light, refreshing, healthy and super delicious. It is filled with nutritious ingredients providing you with plenty of iron, fiber, fats, protein and minerals. Enjoy as a side dish and split it into two or eat as a main meal and keep it for yourself - once you try it, you will want to.
