This recipe for a highly nutritious raw food salad requires that you first sprout the quinoa. This will take anywhere from 1 to 2 days depending on your climate. But the process itself is super duper simple and well worth it for the unique and satisfying crunchy goodness the salad provides. Sprouting grains multiplies their nutrient profile and offers you a host of beneficial effects. Serve this salad as a main course or a hearty side dish. We find one of the best ways to serve this salad is over a bed of lettuce (and arugula too).
