It makes it a great accompaniment for grilled or roasted meat, poultry and seafood. Though, it doesn’t mean that this salad can’t be enjoyed on its own. It’s just as delicious as the slightly less zesty Mediterranean quinoa salad. To get that wonderful zesty and cheerful taste I combined lime juice with lime zest, fresh mint and red hot pepper flakes....
