Vegan Mexican Quinoa Salad #vegetarianquinoasalad #healthy #vegan #recipes #mexican #quinoa #Quinoa Salads and Kale are like, a few of my favourite foods in the world. Not because I’m a hipster dickhead or anything but because I know someone who always mispronounces Quinoa as “Queenos” and Kale as “Kable” and I love to take the piss out of them for it. Bless you if you are reading this. Since my skin is brown and people mistake me for a Mexican sometimes, I decided why not make a Vegan Mexican Quinoa Salad with Kale in it.

Vegan Mexican Quinoa Salad #vegetarianquinoasalad #healthy #vegan #recipes #mexican #quinoa #We start of our little Mexican Quinoa Salad with some pre-cooked Quinoa (I’m too lazy to cook it from scratch, okay?), add in a little de-stemmed Kale, Sliced Red Onion, Black Beans and Corn. We then make a dressing with Olive Oil, Maple Syrup, Ground Cumin, Ground Coriander, Lime Juice, Sriracha (yeah so mexican ya), Salt and Pepper. Finally, we delicately stir in some cubed Avocado, Chopped Cilantro and HEY PRESTO BITCHES, WE HAVE A VEGAN/VEGETARIAN MEXICAN QUINOA SALAD.

Vegan Mexican Quinoa Salad #vegetarianquinoasalad #healthy #vegan #recipes #mexican #quinoa #So if you’re keen on having a Quinoa Salad that is simple, easy and damn quick to make for lunch/dinner, try my Vegan Mexican Quinoa Salad out. Donald Trump will definitely hate it and try to build a wall around this recipe but hey, don’t let that stop you from making it!
