This quinoa artichoke salad turned out incredible. It’s packed with flavor, fiber & protein. I cooked the quinoa in Bare Bones broth to add more protein & collagen to the salad. Collagen can help enhance digestion, reduce gut inflammation, and support a healthy gut barrier. The bone broth is not mandatory and the salad can be made vegan by cooking the quinoa in water or vegetable broth. I have made this using couscous and it tastes very good but decided to remake it with quinoa as it is more nutritious.
