Summer Quinoa Salad, My son has celiac disease & one of his favorite summer foods is pasta salad So, I’ve tweaked one of my favorite pasta salad recipes, so he can enjoy it too The beauty of this recipe is its infinite possibilities I never make it the same way twice In this recipe, I’ve listed all of the add-ins I’ve used (never all at once), but feel free to make it your own Many non-GF friends have asked for the recipe, so here it is , I made this recipe for a potluck/BBQ where there were a lot of vegetarians, and it was a huge hit! I got so many compliments In particular, the dressing/marinade was one of the best I’ve ever tasted I’m thinking of using it as a salad dressing and in other recipes Thanks for posting!!!, I did cut this recipe in half for just the 2 of us, but another time I’ll be making this when my vegetarian son & DIL are over for a meal ~ It’s absolutely delicious, & we thoroughly enjoyed the multitude of flavors in it! Thanks for sharing the recipe! [Made & reviewed for one of my adopted chefs in this Spring’s Pick A Chef event]
