Dash's Mediterranean Quinoa Bowl with Lemon-Herb Dressing

Dash's Mediterranean Quinoa Bowl with Lemon-Herb Dressing is built to be delicious and practical while aligning with healthy eating principles. It keeps sodium sensible by leaning on aromatics, herbs, spices, and a splash of citrus or vinegar instead of heavy salt. Serve with a big side of vegetables and a whole‑grain or legume base for extra fiber, and taste as you go—layering herbs and acids can make low‑salt cooking sing. Always follow your clinician’s guidance for personalized targets.
