Quinoa is a high-protein grain (or seed) that’s even better for us than brown rice. Plus it has interesting vitamin health benefits, including providing nutrients like manganese, magnesium and copper.
Cooked up some quinoa and made a dressing using apple cider vinegar, olive oil and a bit of honey. I can’t tell you how good it is and also how filling. So here are all the ingredients:

I’ve tried quinoa a few times and didn’t like it, but with all of the flavors you’ve added, I may need to give it another try.
Alone it’s not that interesting but as a grain base for all these good veggies and a dressing, it’s pretty tasty.
Oooh! Yes!
and ooh, Di, try it and let me know!
I would love this. I just have to convince my husband, the family cook, that not all dishes need to include pasta. It’s an uphill battle, lol. (Diane, did your quinoa taste bitter? If the quinoa you purchased was bitter, chances are that some of the bitter outer coating had been left on. If you try this recipe, try rinsing in cold water before cooking.)
that’s good to know, alana, although I’ve never had bitter quinoa. But then again, it’s not like I have it all the time.
Sounds delish. I occasionally cook quinoa. Never heard of it as a kid.
Me, either. It just wasn’t that era’s meal option.
Sounds yummy! I’ve been eating quinoa lately, even for breakfast sometimes. Love it.
it’s darn good! I think so, anyway.
