    United States, Key West Recipe! Sweet Potato Quinoa Salad with Tahini Dressing is perfect for the summer months when it's super hot and easy to make. Sweet Potato Quinoa Salad with Tahini Dressing Sweet Potato & Quinoa Salad with Tahini Dressing is a reminder of our stay in Key West. That is when we were introduced to the Inca Quinoa, which has become our favorite thing to put on our salads. Now that the weather is getting hotter and the summer days longer. A salad for dinner is becoming the perfect meal. Sweet Potato Quinoa Salad with Tahini Dressing There is a crunchy taste with a nutty flavor that I love when I am eating this grain. Quinoa is gluten-free and considered easy to digest. It's filling to say the least and great on any salad. I'm always trying new ways to spice up my salads for our dinner. We do No Meat Mondays and that has turned into a big salad night for us.
