Ever wondered how to answer that question, ‘Where do you get your protein?’ Vegan MOFO vlogger Tara Chernoff may just have the perfect response! In this vlog she demonstrates how to make a delicious Quinoa Salad. And while she’s doing the demonstration, you’re going to learn a lot about the interesting history of this power packed food.
Quinoa Salad
2 cups water
1 cup quinoa
2 roma tomatoes, diced
1 cup shredded spinach
½ cup finely chopped onion
