Chicken Quinoa Salad

This chicken quinoa salad is inspired by one of my favourite places – Byron Bay. It is packed full of amazing ingredients and is gluten free and dairy free, plus you can simply omit the chicken to make it vegan.

Byron Bay is one of my favourite places to visit. I love everything about the place – the scenery, the culture and especially the food.

There are so many amazing places to eat at but there are so many great little supermarkets where you can pick up the best quality wholefoods and fresh ingredients.

One of my favourite places to dine at is the Byron Fresh Cafe. The food there is amazing. One of my favourite meals to get is their “Fresh Salad”, which I have recreated.
