Quinoa Salad with zero oil- is for everyone who wants to try something different. No oil, no cheeses, no vinaigrette but I promise this is salad is awesome and easy to make.

Ideal food for lactose intolerant, vegans, diet watchers, elderly and recovering patients looking for non greasy filling meal. Quinoa salad can be served as a light salad along with barbecues, spicy meats or seafood preparations. Here I have served it with Chicken Roulade ( oil free)
