To quickly feed your family dinner, sometimes it is enough to prepare one salad, but a very satisfying one. Like this quinoa and chicken salad. We based the recipe on quinoa (cook for 15 minutes) and ready-made chicken meat; boiled or baked chicken will do. We added walnuts (you can take almonds or pistachios), orange and spinach to the main ingredients. And we made a spicy dressing from freshly squeezed citrus juice, honey, olive oil and hot sauce - it will give our dish the necessary freshness and lightness. A delicious quinoa salad for 4 people is ready in 25 minutes.
