Quinoa for dinner
Description
At first glance, quinoa may seem exotic to some. Nothing of the kind! It has long been used in our kitchens and is actually an indispensable source of protein. This is why quinoa is so loved by athletes, nutritionists, and everyone who avoids animal protein and follows a healthy diet. It cooks quickly—just enough time for the vegetables to sauté—then it's mixed with the vegetables and served as a warm salad.
