These sensational quinoa salads are all the inspiration you need to stay on track with healthy eating!

I can remember the first time that I had quinoa very clearly.

The boys were three and four, and we were in a condo in Orlando doing the Disney thing. I had been struggling with taking care of myself, and read about quinoa in a magazine and thought I should give it a try.

I was immediately hooked!

At the time, I had no idea how much a single food would impact my life.

Although I no longer blog exclusively about quinoa, I still think it is a fabulous way to stick to a healthy diet. This time of year, I love a good quinoa salad!

One of my favorite things about quinoa salads is that they are so easy to make ahead to have on hand for lunch during the week. Believe me, with all the different recipes out there you could try a new one every week and never get bored.

If you don’t believe me, take a peek at these 101 quinoa salads I collected from around the internet.

These quinoa salads range from cold to hot and from wet to dry. However you prefer your meal, there’s a quinoa salad for you.
