how nice that your daughter loves quinoa - it such a great food for anyone to enjoy - and this salad looks great - is it something she actual put in her lunchbox to eat out - I could only imagine with horror what Sylvia's classroom floor would look like if she too it to school (but she wouldn't eat this sort of salad - just likes quinoa by itself sometimes)
ReplyDeleteYes she actually took it to school to eat it! She really really loves quinoa! She's old enough to not make too much of a mess thankfully or else I'm sure the teacher would ban it ;-)
DeleteTotally YUM! I need to get back into my Bento Boxes for lunches at work~
ReplyDeleteBento boxes are so much fun!
DeleteDo I get fired from being vegan for not knowing what capsicum is?
ReplyDeleteSorry! Capsicum is the Australian word for what Americans call "pepper".
DeleteNow this is my kind of lunch! Definitely adult AND kid approved ;)
ReplyDeleteYes I agree, kid & adult worthy ;-)
DeleteSo great that your daughter likes quinoa! My daughter used to like it but has since decided that she hates it :)
ReplyDeletehehe aren't kids funny how they change what they like and dislike so often!
