If you need a quick Monday supper inspiration, you have to try this Southern Quinoa salad using Pecan Oil from Schermer Pecans. Schermer Pecans have been a staple out of Georgia since 1946. Pecan oil is also full of healthy omega 3 and has a light flavor with a high smoke point and is also great to use in making salad dressings. Enjoy, let us know what you think of the recipe!
