A nice change from a lettuce heavy salad, this sweet potato quinoa salad is rich in superfoods, super filling due to lots of fiber rich, and easy to make! Sweet potatoes are rich in vitamin C and Vitamin E, both of which are very crucial to keep skin healthy, glowing and supple.  Vitamin C helps boost collagen, which tightens your skin.
