Quinoa Salad with Spicy Chicken
Alejandra Cota
If you still don't know how quinoa is made, this spicy chicken salad recipe is what you were looking for. In addition to having proteins, this quinoa dish is the perfect combination with vegetables. Ideal to take it from lunch to work, its citrus vinaigrette gives it a special flavor. As a tip, we recommend rinsing the quinoa several times before cooking.
