This simple Spinach Mushroom Quinoa is a delicious clean eating side dish or even great as a meal in itself when you add chicken as well!

Spinach Mushroom Quinoa

This is one of those recipes that was just “created” with a few of my favorite ingredients. (Pretty much just like Egg White Scramble) Funny how I do that.   You can never go wrong with onion, mushrooms and spinach in any recipe in my opinion!

What I love about this dish is that it not only makes a fabulous side dish but it also can be a meal in itself.   You can add chicken to this for a wonderful dinner as well. Perfect time to use your frozen crockpot chicken quickly.

I eat it for lunch a lot during the summer just because it is so easy to make and have ready to eat for a few days.  🙂

 

Ingredients for Spinach Mushroom Quinoa

1 cup of quinoa, cooked per package

2 TBSP of coconut oil or olive oil

4 cloves of garlic

1 large onion, chopped

1 TBSP of balsamic vinegar

    I love your quinoa recipes. I am so simple with my quinoa prep and as a result I don’t make it as often as I would like. I love mushrooms so I am eager to try this dish.

    What great timing – we have a giant flat of mushrooms that I’ve been working my way through the past two weeks and I’ve been trying to come up with something new to do with them. I’ll be making this tonight!
