Quinoa with Mixed Veg Baked Salmon and a Sesame Vinaigrette

Quinoa bowl with Mixed Veg Baked Salmon and a soy sesame vinaigrette

This is a simple recipe to put together and if you are vegan you could simply sub the salmon with some baked tofu. I always think uuinoa is a but ho-hum until you load it up with veg and a great dressing - more of a receptacle for flavour than full of flavour itself, so load it up with lots of your favourite veg and chopped fresh herbs for a delicious full of goodness lunch or dinner
