    Not too long ago I posted this Roasted Broccoli Quinoa Casserole, which changed my view on quinoa. I gave thanks to the creamy cheese sauce, which really made the dish.

    While this quinoa salad has some parm, it's not one of the main components. I wanted to try something new and go outside of my comfort zone of covering everything in cheese.

    To be completely honest with you, I wasn't expecting to like this salad that much. I thought I would try using a lemon honey dressing for a change, then go back to cheesy casseroles.

    The dressing really gets absorbed by the quinoa so it has so much flavor, along with the delicious roasted vegetables and crunchy sliced almonds. I found myself reaching for seconds, then thirds...

    You guys. Whether you're a quinoa skeptic or a quinoa lover, you will fall in love with this salad. Do yourself a favor and make it asap!

    How to Give Quinoa Flavor

    The main reason I used to dislike quinoa was because it has very little flavor on its own. Therefore, in order to make this salad super delicious, I needed to really boost the flavors.

    Cook the quinoa in broth: cooking quinoa in vegetable broth really boosts the flavor of the quinoa, especially compared to water. Although I think broth is much better, if you don't have any you can use water with salt and seasonings of choice, like garlic and onion powder.

    Roast the vegetables: this step is used in the quinoa casserole I mentioned earlier, and it makes such a difference. They get super crispy and flavorful.

    Mix in some parm: parmesan cheese has a sharp cheesy flavor that pairs really well with the vegetables and dressing.

    The dressing: This is where most of the flavor comes from! There's lemon for acidity, honey for sweetness, and olive oil!

      This recipe looks delicious and I would like to try it but I was wondering what the nutrition facts are. E.g. how many calories are there per serving etc.
