quinoa salad

Andean seed dish

Quinoa salad is a cold dish built around cooked quinoa—a protein-rich seed often treated as a grain.

The salads typically include vegetables, herbs, and vinaigrette, appearing frequently on health-conscious menus and at potlucks: I brought a quinoa salad with cucumber and feta.

The dish became a symbol of contemporary clean eating in the 2010s.
