Quinoa Shrimp Salad

This quinoa salad recipe is simple to make and great for a quick weekday dinner or to make ahead for lunches. This salad is crisp, refreshing, and satisfying. I love it because it is a complete meal and you don’t have to worry about making any side dishes.
For the best results, use the freshest ingredients you can find. I highly recommend using real lemons in this recipe instead of bottled lemon juice. It’s worth the extra effort, I promise. You’ll thank me later. And, as always, I recommend using wild and sustainably caught shrimp.
