Quinoa, Chard & Feta Salad
Drs. Tim & Lindsay Wilson
Looking for fresh, tasty side dishes this summer? This is one that we LOVE! Quinoa is considered a "super food" and is so delicious when paired with veggies and seasonings. Quinoa is also a complete protein and can be used as a main dish.
We like to take this camping because it has protein, veggies and it gets better the longer it sits.
