The heat of this last week has made us turn to fresh recipes like this one at home quinoa salad, zucchini and peach. A simple recipe that can be eaten as a starter or as a main dish and that we enjoy for dinner. Would you like to try it?
You can substitute the peach for another fruit from the same family, the one you like the most! The salad will continue to work well and retain its color. A little extra virgin olive oil and some spices will finish giving you that point of freshness that we have liked so much.
