1 tsp Turmeric, powder
1/2 tsp Black pepper

This salad is completely modifiable so don’t be shy to add different vegetables and/or seasonings. 👍🏼

Notes:

Quinoa is a seed rich in protein, fibre, B vitamins, and dietary minerals. More than most grains. Because it is very high in protein, it is also great for those on a vegan diet, containing approximately 14g of protein per 100g serving.

This can stay in your refrigerator for 3 days at least, so make a batch and enjoy for a few days. 👌🏼
