Spicy Citrus Quinoa Salad
I’ll be honest with you… I told Scott that I would not be eating this and that it sounded disgusting. I was wrong and I found myself sneaking spoonfuls all throughout the process of making it! This Clean Eating Spicy Citrus Quinoa Salad has the perfect hint of sweet and spicy and is the perfect side dish for your meal and great for parties!
We’ve made quite a few things off of the Whole Foods Market app and we’ve never been disappointed. All of the dishes we’ve tried have been very flavorful and easy to make and this one is no exception.
