Notes
Our Cooking Hints:
- Quinoa salads taste better when served cold so make sure to leave your salad in the fridge for a couple of hours before serving it
- You can add shrimps to the salad but make sure to replace the vegetable bouillon cube with a fish bouillon cube
- You can use white quinoa, red quinoa or a combination of both for a more colorful salad!
