Quinoa Salad with Preserved Lemon

This Quinoa Salad with Preserved Lemon is simple to make and showcases incredible flavour.

Earlier this year I made a few jars of preserved lemons and limes.

Looking for a way to use some of my preserved citrus I thought a salad was in order.

I love quinoa and knew that would be the perfect base for a salad. Full of fresh avocado and roasted peppers it was a refreshing satisfying meal. The salty hit of citrus is the prefect finish to the dish. It is quick, simple and delicious!
