Quinoa Mango Pomegranate Salad with White Balsamic Vinaigrette

Quinoa Shrimp Mango Pomegranate Spinach Salad with White Balsamic Vinaigrette is reminiscent of a favorite salad I had enjoyed eons ago while Colt and I had gone on an overnight stay.

Eating this salad is like a mental vacay perfect for beating the winter blues with it's light and bright flavors.

It's loaded with Quinoa, Spinach, Mixed Baby Greens, Mango, Pomegranate Seeds, Walnuts and Feta  making it high in protein and a perfect lunch or light dinner.

The White Balsamic Vinaigrette is slightly sweet but tangy and pairs perfectly with the sweet mangoes and shrimp.

Plus with the holidays finally over we are trying to concentrate on eating healthier because we always seem to gain a few extra pounds.

We are loving this new salad and I'm sure it's going to make a regular appearance on our dinner table for the weeks to come while we try to shed those post holiday pounds.
