My Un-Beet-Eivable Quinoa Salad

GIDDYUP for your new favorite quick, easy, and absolutely yummy summer dish! Brace yourself for the explosion of flavors in this Un-Beet-Eivable Quinoa Salad, which has become a staple in the Clairey household. Whether you're looking for a satisfying side, a delightful snack, or a complete meal, this salad has got you covered. Plus, it's sure to wow your guests at any backyard gathering!

What makes this salad truly special is the harmonious blend of crunchy, sweet, savory, and earthy elements. Picture this: tender quinoa, vibrant beet slices, and protein-packed edamame dancing together in perfect harmony. Toss in the finely chopped red onion, and you’ve got a party in your mouth!

Now, let’s talk about the star of the show—the beetroot dressing. We take it up a notch by infusing the salad with the vibrant hues and rich flavors of beet juice and beetroot powder. This not only adds a beautiful pop of color to the dish but also elevates its taste to new heights. The garlic, olive oil, and squeeze of lemon juice bring everything together with a tangy twist. Season with salt and pepper to taste, and you’ve got a winning combination!

To serve, simply spoon this delightful mixture into a sharing bowl and top it off with slices of creamy avocado. The creamy avocado adds a luxurious touch to the dish, balancing out the flavors and textures perfectly. Trust us; it’s a game-changer!
