This Crunchy Veggie Quinoa Salad is the perfect spring lunch. It is has a very fresh flavor, and I just love all the crunch!
Start by cooking your quinoa and letting it cool in a large bowl. While the quinoa cools, combine the olive oil, lemon, salt, and pepper. Then get all the veggies chopped and ready.
Once the quinoa has cooled, mix in the dressing and chopped herbs. Next, add in all the veggies and combine evenly.
Serve over a bed of mixed baby greens and garnish with fresh mint.
