Curry quinoa salad

Quinoa is an ingredient extremely rich in minerals, healthy fats and proteins. Although it is usually classified as a grain, it is not. Quinoa is a so-called pseudo-grain because it is consumed, prepared and has the same nutritional value as grain, but belongs to the same type of herbs as spinach, chard and beetroot.

When the quinoa is cooked combine it with dressing, along with vegetables and other ingredients, and mix everything well. Refrigerate the dish for 30 minutes to cool down.
Tip: This salad actually gets better the longer it stays, but be sure to keep it in a glass and hermetically sealed container in the refrigerator. Enjoy your meal!
