Veggie, Almond, and Raisin Quinoa Salad image

The original recipe is from a friend, and I modified it by adding some ingredients to the recipe. Since it has an abundance of goodness in it, I'll often eat it alone as a meal. I've also served this as a side dish with bbq chicken or lamb shish-kabobs.

TUNA, VEGGIE & QUINOA SALAD



Tuna, Veggie & Quinoa Salad image

A simple salad, but full of healthy ingredients. I love this perpared pilaf style (i.e. no dressing), but my hubby prefers it with the dressing. You can switch up the ingredients, too (I do quite often depending on what I have on hand!)

QUINOA VEGGIE SALAD WITH ZESTY VINAIGRETTE



Quinoa Veggie Salad with Zesty Vinaigrette image

Quinoa with various veggies and a zesty (and easy) vinaigrette that makes a wonderful salad dressing for any salad. I used one English cucumber instead of 2 normal cucumbers because we prefer the taste. Cook the quinoa with the water as you would normal rice (works in a rice cooker as well).
