Quinoa summer salad
It’s that time of the year again, it’s salad time! I love salads, mostly because they are quick to make but also because they are so refreshing! I originally made this salad because I had nothing in the fridge but it turned out pretty well so I’ve decided to publish the recipe! It’s a very basic salad, no fancy dressing or ingredients, hope you’ll like it! 🙂

100g quinoa
100g seitan, chopped
1 cup broccoli, boiled
1 cup of corn
1 carrot, sliced
1 cup black olives
