Quinoa and Tomato Salad is a vibrant, nutrient-packed dish inspired by Mediterranean cuisine, known for its fresh and wholesome ingredients. This salad combines fluffy quinoa—a protein-rich seed hailed as a complete protein—with juicy cherry or heirloom tomatoes, fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro, and a zesty olive oil and lemon dressing. Often enhanced with cucumbers, onions, or feta cheese for added flavor, this salad is gluten-free and rich in fiber, vitamins, and antioxidants. Quinoa provides sustained energy and essential amino acids, while tomatoes supply vitamin C and lycopene, a potent antioxidant. Olive oil adds heart-healthy monounsaturated fats, though moderation is advised for calorie-conscious eaters. Light, refreshing, and satisfying, this salad is a versatile option for plant-based diets and complements a clean-eating lifestyle. Perfect as a side dish or a standalone meal, it’s a delicious way to enjoy a balance of nutrition and flavor.
