warm sweet potato quinoa salad

Posted: December 8, 2015 by sasha nelson

Somewhere on those magical plates in the photo above is my quinoa salad I concocted for our epic holiday goddess brunch, where we discussed our visions for the future as well as the importance of being in the present moment, especially because the time we spend together is always exceptional.

There’s not always a written, measurable recipe when you cook from your heart, and luckily this turned out absolutely delicious.

Throw together the clean ingredients below [with love] to your taste, and enjoy warm or room temp:
