3. Whisk in the melted butter, then stir in blueberries.

Cajun Chicken Quinoa Salad

This recipe has a lot of flavors but a really basic dish. This was my first time using quinoa but it certainly won't be my last! I haven't had a good cajun chicken since I was diagnosed but this recipe is so good.
