This Pineapple Quinoa Citrus Salad is super easy to make and is bursting with flavors! It’s great as a side dish or as a meal!

I love a good Quinoa Salad. You may remember the Tex Mex Vegetarian Quinoa Salad I made awhile back, or this Caribbean Shrimp Quinoa Salad, or this Citrus Chicken and Quinoa Salad… yep I love Quinoa! 🙂

Quinoa is just so good for you. It’s loaded with protein, gluten free, high in fiber, and is one of the few plant foods that has all nine essential amino acids.

It’s like a true SuperFood!

You guys! This Pineapple Quinoa Citrus Salad is EVERYTHING! It’s:

• Fruity
• Flavorful
• Fun to make
• Healthy
• Full of Protein
• and Incredibly Delicious!
