This vegan quinoa salad with dates and roasted vegetables is perfect as a starter, to take to the office, for the next barbecue or simply as a light main course. It is wonderfully versatile, as individual vegetables can easily be substituted. Do you still have some vegetables left over? Then this quinoa salad is perfect for using up your leftovers.
I really like this vegan quinoa salad with dates, which, together with the lemon zest, adds a delicious fruity note.
The quinoa salad is perfect to prepare in advance and tastes even better the next day when it has been properly cooked.
With 12g protein per 100g quinoa*, it is a real protein bomb. The quinoa salad with dates is therefore perfect for meeting your daily protein requirements and is also completely vegan. It is also rich in magnesium and iron. Together with the dates, you can almost completely cover your daily magnesium and iron requirements with this salad.
