Mediterranean Brunch Platter

One of my secrets to eating more quinoa in my diet is simply to cook it plain at the beginning of the week and have it ready in my fridge waiting for some new innovations. This beautiful and healthy vegan brunch platter is one of my favorite things on earth. As much as it’s simple and easy to put together it is extremely satisfying and nourishing. Double the quantities if you need to, and invite a friend and enjoy it together. I grantee compliments to come!
