Quinoa with Pomegranate, Pistachios and Feta

The new year is here and along with it, the cold weather has finally arrived here in Massachusetts. With the holiday season behind us, and with the fresh start of the new year, I’ve been in the mood for some healthy dishes such as quinoa salads.

Since the temperatures are colder, I wanted to make a quinoa salad that could be served warm, such as this delicious Quinoa with Pomegranate, Pistachios and Feta.


Quinoa with Pomegranate, Pistachios and Feta

A Combination of Superfoods

This colorful salad combines two of my favorite superfoods — quinoa and pomegranates, which are currently in season — along with heart-healthy pistachios.

Quinoa is packed with protein and fiber. Pomegranates are high in vitamin C, potassium, fiber and anti-oxidants. Pistachios are high in fiber, protein and potassium as well. They all go so well together in this flavorful salad.
