But hey, let's not give all of the credit to quinoa in this salad. Spinach is a super-food in its own right too! It contains more nutrients per calorie than any food on Earth, and is extremely rich in anti-oxidents. It also gives you 35% of your daily recommended iron all in one cup, which is important to me because my body runs really low on iron, borderline anemic actually. I always try to cram spinach into as many foods as possible, whether it's a pasta sauce or an omelette.
Avocado also happens to be my absolute favourite salad ingredient, and grapefruit is my current favourite fruit, so really when I saw this recipe on Pinterest it made me very, very excited, and I knew I had to make it.
