The Easiest Quinoa Salad Recipe Ever
This post will be quick because I sort of despise recipe posts that drag on before getting to the actual recipe so let me start off by saying, I have been making this quinoa salad for the last 4 years or so, it’s not my recipe but props to Youtuber Shaycarl + his family for creating this vegan, gluten-free & non-dairy recipe that’s super tasty! After I shared that I was making this dish on my instagram stories, a lot of you mentioned you’d like to make it too! I could only find it in a video format (and the video kind of drags on which is what we’re trying to avoid here in this moment) SO I thought I’d create a post we can all go back to and enjoy for future quinoa creations—enjoy!

Ingredients
Salad
2 cups quinoa
3 cups water
