Peach Season Quinoa Salad
Make this before peach season is over! Salty black olives, crunchy mini cucumbers & sweet, ripe peaches tossed in a simple garlicky-lime-cilantro dressing along with chilled tri-color quinoa; SO GOOD even my picky-eater kiddos gobbled it up! This easy summer side dish can also double as a light lunch or dinner, can be topped with your choice of protein for a more substantial meal, plus it’s great to pack for a picnic. Gluten-free, vegan, nut-free, soy-free & sesame-free.
