Wholefoods California Quinoa Salad

wholefoods california quinoa salad recipe

This weekend Chris & I stopped at Wholefoods for lunch. I got a small container of what Wholefoods called California Quinoa Salad.  It was just what I wanted, light but satisfying & most importantly not greasy making it the perfect salad during a heat wave. Upon finishing my tasty choice, I peeled the sticker from the container -like any rational gal that blogs about food- & stowed it safely in my purse so I could recreate it when I got home.

I made a huge batch (my recipe is very generous) that I plan on eating for lunch for several days.  The best part is there's no mayo in the salad so even if you don't have a fridge nearby it's great for summer lunch or a picnic outside.

Balsamic-Mustard Potatoes


It's safe to say that if there is no pasta on our dinner table there's a potato near by.  I never really met a potato I didn't like. I'm not a huge fan of overly mayo potato salads but I'll still eat it.  In lieu of mayo I really like acidic or mustardy potato salads made like this one. I didn't have all the ingredients Giada called for in her Lemon-Mustard Potato Salad so I ad-libbed my own version of it.
