Sweet Potato and Coconut Quinoa Salad

Bored of plain quinoa? This easy and super-healthy quinoa dish is full of flavor! It’s a really fun side dish- just add some protein like chicken, fish, or tofu and some vegetables to make it a perfectly balanced meal.

I find a lot of my ingredients on Thrive Market. I LOVE this website because they have healthy, organic options for up to 50% off regular price!
