We were invited to a friend’s house for New Year’s Eve, and the menu was quite extensive. So when I was asked to bring an appetizer, I wanted to prepare something very fresh but festive. This quinoa salad turned out to be perfect. The freshness of the mint and cucumber, the little lemon pep and especially the little pomegranate balls were a success! To be repeated without any hesitation, this salad is already part of our summer menu (well, I know I’m getting a little carried away, summer is not anytime soon) as an accompaniment to grilled meats or fish.
