Warm roasted vegetable and quinoa salad using Siemens appliances

Vegan food is very popular especially in January, nicknamed as 'Veganuary', when many of us choose to cut out meat and dairy and try a vegan diet for a month.

This gluten-free, vegan recipe for a Warm Roasted Vegetable and Quinoa Salad is proof that salad does not have to be boring and tasteless. It makes for a perfect nutritious dinner or a great make-ahead lunch.

For this recipe, we used the Full-Size Siemens Combination Oven with Microwave and the Siemens Compact Full Steam Oven.
