Lemony Quinoa & Shrimp w/Corn and Green Onions

Happy Memorial Day Weekend everyone!

Please take some time on Monday to remember and thank those who have served our great country. 

 

I am re-posting this one today because I feel like it's a perfect Memorial Day Picnic dish. Cold boiled shrimp in a cold quinoa salad is a healthy side to any BBQ or Picnic whether you're braving the beach (and crowds!) or just hanging in your backyard. This dish whips up in no time and is sure to be a favorite!

Wishing you all a SAFE, happy, and healthy Memorial Day Weekend!
