What is new in my quinoa salad with chicken?
I had shared a creamy no-mayo chicken quinoa salad a few months ago which was made with a yogurt based salad dressing.
So of course I have to offer something new this time for you all! And hence comes my quinoa salad with chicken which is infused with a simple yet immensely flavorful dressing.
You just need 4 ingredients to make this very basic salad dressing and I am sure you already have used this dressing in many of your salads if you are a pro-salad lover like me!
All you need is a good quality extra virgin olive oil which is the key flavor base of this quinoa salad with chicken. Then add a good drizzle of fresh lemon juice topping it off with salt & pepper!
Give the dressing a good whisk and voila! You have got your beautiful refreshing salad dressing that’s perfect for any summer salad!
You can use a mason jar too to shake up this easy dressing and use as much or as little as you prefer, saving up the rest for later use!
