Quinoa Sweet Potato Salad
This easy quinoa sweet potato salad comes together fast with a simple sweet vinaigrette. Packed with plant protein, fiber, and nutrients—perfect for meal prep or a light lunch.
Ingredients
- 1 cup quinoa
- 1 garlic clove
- 1 cup sweet potato
- 1 tbsp fresh rosemary leaves
- 1/2 tbsp salt
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1 tbsp lime or lemon juice
- 2 tbsp chopped chives
- 1 cup finely chopped spinach
- 1 tbsp honey
Instructions
- Use half of the olive oil to coat the sweet potato, peeled and cut into cubes.
- Sprinkle the rosemary over the sweet potato and place in the air fryer at 400°F for 10 minutes, or in the oven for the same amount of time. No worries if you don’t have either — you can also steam it.
- Place the quinoa in a pot with 4 cups of water, the salt, and the garlic, and let it cook.
- Once all the ingredients are ready, mix the quinoa with the sweet potato and the spinach. The spinach will wilt slightly from the heat of the other ingredients.
- Mix the tablespoon of honey with half a lemon, a bit of pepper, and the olive oil, then add it to the quinoa mixture.
- Mix everything together and it’s ready to serve — you’ll see just how delicious it is.
