Vegan Quinoa Recipes

Quinoa has become one of my favorite ingredients — it’s fluffy, packed with protein, and works beautifully in so many dishes. These vegan quinoa recipes are simple and full of flavor!

Quinoa (pronounced KEEN-wah) is nutritious, easy to digest, and full of protein and fiber. Often considered a grain, quinoa is actually a seed (making it gluten-free) and can stand on its own as a hearty side or main dish.

Because of its versatility and ease of cooking, this superstar ingredient is a staple in our vegan kitchen!

A few of our favorite quinoa recipes are cozy Kale, Quinoa & White Bean Soup, scoopable Southwestern Quinoa Salad, and brightly flavored Lemon Chickpea & Quinoa Salad. Enjoy!
