    Quinoa, Shrimp and Chimichurri SaladPin

    The Creative Cooking Crew this month is going to a “virtual picnic” and I’m bringing a delicious and simple Quinoa, Shrimp and Chimichurri Salad.

    When I found out that the challenge for this month was a picnic dish, I knew I would make something fresh and simple, but full of flavor. This Quinoa salad was the perfect dish for the challenge. It is absolutely delicious and is sure to be a crowd pleaser at your Memorial Day picnic!

    This Quinoa, Shrimp and Chimichurri Salad comes together in just a few minutes, but makes an impression that lasts. It is great for entertaining large groups or even for an easy weeknight dinner or lunch! If you don’t like shrimp, feel free to replace it for diced cooked chicken or steak, either way you’re going to love it!
