Salad
Description
The recipe won't take much time. Quinoa is a very dietary and original product containing many beneficial substances. But, to be honest, I fell in love with this salad because cooked and cooled quinoa bursts interestingly in the mouth, like a fireworks display of flavor! And add some mandarins, which also love to "shoot" out their juice... In short, it's a delicious salad, and now I'll tell you how to serve it.

Step 1
1. Quinoa is a type of "pseudograin" that turns into interesting translucent beads when cooked, tasting similar to puffed rice. Generally, it should be cooked like regular grain—pour two glasses of water over it and add a bit of salt. Cook until soft (about 15 minutes).
