Quinoa Pomegranate Salad
This pomegranate quinoa salad is none other than a burst of tempting flavors loaded with ruby red crystals i.e. Pomegranate seeds perfect for cold days. Combined with hearty green grass and crunchy nuts for extra texture and pops of blissful flavors it’s like a dream meal in one. It’s also fantastic to make your holidays more enjoyable, though you don’t have to wait to set an occasion table to enjoy this salad.
No wonder this is one of my favorite recipes as it is not only full of divine taste. But also healthy fats, satisfying protein, vitamins, slow-digesting carbs, and minerals. Not to mention the salty spices, juicy apples, and sweet balsamic dressing. Just imagine a bite of all these things in one spoon. Isn’t it spectacular?
Is pomegranate quinoa salad served cold or hot?
It is recommended to serve this salad chilled or at room temperature for incredible taste. If you want to eat it in as your A.M meal and don’t have much time, the great way is to make this healthy green bowl the night before. It will give enough time for the ingredients to blend properly. However, don’t add arugula to the salad until ready to serve so it does not wilt.
