Moroccan Mint Quinoa Salad

This salad nails everything I’m looking for out of a salad as a main course. High in protein, packed with layers of flavor and easy to make. Perfect for most seasons, the mint makes this refreshing in the summer, and the roasted cauliflower gives you the warming vibes you’re looking for in the fall/winter. It’s a perfect party dish or a one stop shop to your Sunday meal prep! Versatility is key when eating a plant based diet and this recipe does not dissapoint.

One of the most important spices in this dish sumac, can be a little harder to find! Call your local grocery store to check or order it online! You can make it without it, however the sumac gives you all the moroccan vibes this dish is calling for!
