If you haven’t noticed, I’ve been all about quinoa lately. It’s easy to prepare, incredibly versatile, high in protein and fiber and can be served for just about any meal. What’s not to love?
Naturally, I have a whole Pinterest board dedicated to quinoa recipes, many of which are salads. I don’t know what it is about quinoa salads, but they never get old. While pinning the other night I stumbled upon yet another delicious looking quinoa salad and had the fabulous idea to do a roundup of summery quinoa salads that I want to dive into.
Like most ideas discovered on Pinterest it took a while for it to actually happen, but the roundup is finally coming to fruition today! I hope you’re ready for it because it’s pretty epic.
As you’ll see all of the recipes are absolutely BEAUTIFUL and scream summer. Hopefully you’ll like them as much as I do and decide to make one (or two) this the summer. <— Perhaps this weekend for your 4th of July festivities?!?

Are you a quinoa salad fan? What’s your favorite recipe? Please share. 🙂
I am a quinoa fan! I love how easy to cook and versatile it can be. I actually posted a recipe last week I have really been enjoying. Here’s the link: http://thebikiniexperiment.com/4th-of-july-quinoa-salad/
These all look fabulous! I’m a HUGE quinoa fan!
That quinoa mint and stonefruit salad looks crazy good!
Love this round-up – all of these recipes look divine. I basically consider quinoa a food group, so these are right up my alley!
I love a cold quinoa salad with roasted sweet potatoes and beets. It may not look pretty, but it’s very satisfying!
We have a similar taste in salads, that’s for sure! I did a salad post the other day and linked up a lot of the same ones as you! Cheers to yummy salads
I love quinoa because it’s so healthy and versatile but it’s so expensive in Denmark. it costs like $9 for a bag 🙁

This is timely! I just ordered a massive bag of quinoa because it’s hard to find here in the cornfields. Our produce market has a teeny bag for like $10 or something crazy like that.
I have been dying to try one of these! I think I am going to go with the avocado one 🙂

Yay! Let me know how it turns out.
Delicious! I love adding quinoa to practically all of my salads. This is a great round up!
Thanks lady! I almost included your Crunchy Cashew Thai Quinoa Salad as well. I always swoon over that one. 🙂
