Beetroot and Quinoa are both wonderful ingredients to incorporate into your diet for two reasons. The first is that they are both superfoods packed full of nutrition. Both contain a high amount of fibre - which improves digestion and helps maintains a healthy bowel. Combined, they help boost your immune system and support brain and heart health. And secondly, and most importantly, they are both super tasty! This beetroot and orange quinoa salad is therefore a great addition to your weekly meals.
