California Quinoa Salad. I love shopping at Whole Foods and I particularly like their California Quinoa Salad, which you’ll find on their spectacular salad bar. The flavors, the colors, the crunch! Sadly, the closest Whole Foods is an hour-long drive from my house. Naturally, this meant I had to create my own version of their irresistible salad.
