Asian Quinoa Salad Kid Friendly

Updated February 23, 2021

Good, Yet Good For You

I’m kind of obsessed with quinoa salads. I can’t get enough. Quinoa is a great source of protein and makes a great hearty, healthy, and delicious salad! Last week, I was in the mood for a quinoa salad, but wanted to try something new, so I mixed up an Asian Inspired Quinoa Salad and my oh my it’s amazing! This one tops the charts! You’ve gotta try it!

Quinoa & Edamame Salad

I love this salad because it’s tasty and healthy, but I also love it because it’s pretty! I love all of the bright colors. The salad has:

red cabbageedamamecarrotsred peppercucumberscilantro

Eating the rainbow has never been so delicious! And if you need to clean out your vegetable drawer, feel free to throw in other veggies too! This salad is flexible.

Salad Dressing

I made a simple ginger soy dressing with sesame oil, rice wine vinegar, green onion, and sesame seeds. This easy dressing gives the salad a ton of flavor and it is easy to whisk up. Note, if you need the salad to be gluten-free make sure you use Tamari instead of soy sauce because not all soy sauce is gluten-free.

Quinoa Salad For All Occasions

This salad is fresh, light, and perfect for a simple lunch or dinner. It can be made in advance, which makes it a great meal prep salad. Just don’t dress the salad until you are ready to eat. This salad is great for entertaining because it can be made in advance and it’s gluten-free, vegan, and vegetarian. I love having options for all of guests. And our little pea loved this salad too! Caleb kept picking out edamame and yelling “Ed-mommy!” This salad was a hit with the entire family. If you are looking for a new way to cook up quinoa, try this Quinoa Salad. It is my new favorite and I think you will like it too!
