Coconut Herb Quinoa (Edit recipe)

Packed with herbs, creamy coconut, and a burst of acidity from the lime, this quinoa is a total flavor explosion! The healthy fat from the coconut also make this a satisfying side dish or addition to any salad. However you prefer to eat this, I hope you enjoy it as much as we do!
