Recently, Red Gold Tomatoes and I held an in-store demo at Marsh Supermarket in Carmel, Indiana. The demos were part of Marsh Supermarket’s Taste of Indiana, presented by Indiana Grown and Red Gold Tomatoes.

Southwest BBQ Chicken Quinoa Salad is perfect for everyone no matter the dietary restriction!

I made 2 very simple Red Gold Tomatoes recipes: Sassy Chicken Salad and Southwest BBQ Chicken Quinoa Salad. Both were easy to assemble and perfect for get togethers or pitch-in’s!

Southwest BBQ Chicken Quinoa Salad Quinoa that is easy to find anywhere now!

If you are not super familiar with quinoa, never fear! This is what I call a “complete grain” meaning that it has almost everything you need in 1 simple ingredient. You can now find uncooked AND cooked quinoa almost everywhere at many price points. Remember- it is like a rice. It will take on the taste of whatever ingredients you use. Like a blank canvas!

So many fresh and healthy ingredients in the Southwest BBQ Chicken Quinoa Salad

 

Here’s the Southwest BBQ Chicken Quinoa Salad recipe. Enjoy!
