I’ve been CRAVING a really good side dish lately. Well, it’s more like a side dish/lunch/dinner/salad. I LOVE this Broccoli Quinoa Salad, like a lot.

It’s nothing fancy. In fact, it’s SO simple. But those are the best dishes in my opinion. When you have simple, fresh, good quality ingredients, it makes the best food.

I also love roasting broccoli. The crispy edges and perfectly tender center make for just the right consistency in this dish.
