The first time I tried Quinoa was a few months ago with the Quinoa salad, asparagus and goat cheese! My husband and I loved it! We found it was a great lunch recipe: quick and easy! It’s filling. The kids didn’t enjoy it much because they don’t like goat cheese! They liked the quinoa though! So I started looking for a new spin to this salad. After all I had a half bag of quinoa that I needed to use. I don’t like wasting food! I stumbled on this new easy healthy recipe: quinoa salad with radish! I got from a special magazine: La Boite a lunch (or lunch box). It’s a Quebec published magazine where they feature easy healthy lunch recipes! Besides it was on sale for .99C . A bargain!

The original recipe called for lots of ingredients! Do you know that I have a rule: if a recipe calls for more than 6 or 7  ingredients: either I don’t cook it or I put my spin on it! I usually put my spin on it!

How to prepare this delicious salad recipe

    I have been thinking of trying quinoa as a substitute for rice or pasta in my homemade soups (beef barley or chicken soup). Your salad sounds yummy except I don’t like goat cheese. I’m thinking of trying it with mozzarella cheese.
