Seasonal salad with quinoa, eggplant, carrot, apple, tomato brings cooked quinoa together with a mix of vegetables and fruit that can shift with the season. Quinoa originated in the Andes, while salads built around it are now adapted in many kitchens; this combination has no single fixed regional origin.
The quinoa gives it a tender, slightly nutty base, balanced by the apple’s sweetness and the fresh, savoury vegetables. Serve it chilled or at room temperature as a light lunch, or alongside grilled fish, meat or plant-based dishes. It provides fibre and is low in fat; each 100 g contains 68 calories. A squeeze of lemon and a modest drizzle of olive oil make a simple dressing, while fresh herbs add brightness.
