Quinoa Salad with Roasted Asparagus

This Quinoa Salad with Roasted Asparagus is quick and easy to make for your busy days! It is made with red onion, pepper, asparagus, quinoa, and vinaigrette!

Last week, I shared with you guys my Easy and Quick Roasted Asparagus. It was actually our dinner with baked salmon. But as I roasted 2 bunches of asparagus I had leftovers. So, the next day I decided to make Quinoa Salad with Roasted Asparagus for lunch and it turned out so delicious and flavorful. I am a quinoa freak and I am pretty sure I could eat quinoa salad for breakfast, lunch, and dinner and be a very happy girl. No kidding … Ask my husband. He will confirm that 😉

Asparagus really makes good leftovers and with quinoa, this salad is a great option for your lunch box because you don’t even need to warm it up if you don’t want to. You can just have it as a cold salad. And why you would like to warm it up with such a hot weather, right?

I really love the simplicity of Quinoa Salad with Roasted Asparagus and I hope you guys too. Let’s go ahead to the recipe because why would I need to write more if we have to make this salad, right? Lunch is ready everyone 😉
