As the weather turns hot, salads become the meal norm. However, while eating greens every day is good for your body, it is not enough to provide a balanced meal. Using healthy oils and whole grains is a means of bringing both flavor and rounded out nutritional profile to a salad. This dish incorporates the flavors reminiscent of the Mediterranean through sundried tomatoes and artichoke hearts while remaining hearty enough to be eaten as a stand-alone dish. For extra flavor, cook the quinoa in vegetable broth and omit the pinch of salt.
