Simple Crunchy Quinoa Cabbage Salad 

THRIFTYFRUGALMOM

The salad includes black beans for extra protein and carrots and sunflower seeds for a bit of added crunch.  And the homemade dressing is the best!

I was always skeptical of cabbage salads...until I ate this one. My friend Jess created the recipe and would often bring it to potlucks. After a potluck or two of people raving over it, I finally gave it a try. And I immediately loved it!

So much so, that I asked Jess for the recipe. But she’s a dump and pour sort of cook and didn’t really have one. (Bless all those dump and pour cooks that get asked for recipes!) Thankfully, she was kind enough to write down the rough ingredient amounts one day when she made it and gave me those.  Then I tweaked it from there.
