Quinoa Satay Slaw Salad

As the weather’s been getting warmer and the days longer I’ve been keeping an eye out for new salad recipes and this delish Quinoa Satay Slaw Salad from Tess at Eden Vegan is going to be a staple in our house this summer. Tess never disappoints when it comes to vegan recipes full of flavoursome and nutritious plant based ingredients!

Quinoa is considered a pseudo-grain (not actually a grain but has similar nutritional benefits), and is such a versatile ingredient as it takes on all the yummy flavours in this dish while bulking it up and making it go much further than a regular coleslaw or lettuce salad.
