This Sweet Quinoa Salad with Oranges, Dates, Beets and Pomegranate lives up to it’s name. It’s very sweet with the natural sugars from the fruit and beets, but the quinoa loads it up with 8 grams of protein per serving.

Amelia and I love colorful dishes, and they don’t get much more colorful than this one! It’s great as a side salad with your Vegan Black Bean Burgers or as a stand-alone lunch dish.

If you take this to work for lunch, your co-workers are guaranteed to take notice! They’ll wonder what the crazy vegan is eating now with a subconscious feeling that they’re missing out! Print out the recipe and take it with you so you can just hand it to them without saying a word!
