Hello friends and happy Friday! The beautiful spring weather has been giving me inspiration for new recipes lately. This week on my blog, I’m sharing my Spring Quinoa Salad. For this salad, I wanted to incorporate ingredients that are in season. I’m a firm believer that when certain ingredients are in season they taste better, fresher and provide more nutrients. In this salad, I wanted to highlight the radishes, since those are in season for spring. Aside from the radishes, I incorporated crunchy cucumbers, quinoa, creamy feta cheese and fresh dill. The star of this salad is the lemon vinaigrette that ties this beautiful salad together. Have a great weekend!
