There are days when you come home with no plans and you have to improvise. You start by checking out the fridge and then opening the pantry to get an idea of what you can work with. And thus uncomplicated recipes arise like this quinoa salad, watermelon and zucchini.
It took what it takes to cook the quinoa, 10-12 minutes to prepare. During this time, I took the opportunity to prepare the rest of the ingredients. If, like me, you bet on zucchini, a quick sauté will be enough to incorporate it into the dish. Simple, right? Top it off with nuts and you will enjoy a plate of 10. And if you like watermelon, do not hesitate to try this banana and watermelon smoothie, Delicious!
