Vegan Pumpkin And Quinoa Salad

November 14, 2017

This is a great salad recipe and I am making it at least once a week and happy to share it with you.

Pumpkin is not only a decoration for Halloween but according to the USDA National Nutrient Database, one cup of pumpkin contains:

  • 49 calories
  • 76 grams of protein
  • 17 grams of fat
  • 0 grams of cholesterol
  • 12 grams of carbohydrate (including 2.7 grams of fiber and 5.1 grams of sugar)

Quinoa is a great source of protein and has a relatively low glycemic index and it tastes great!
