Ah Quinoa!

Quinoa- the versatile grain (like rice), easy to digest, a rare plant complete protein, good source of fiber, gluten free, and high in iron. Buy it! Eat it! Love it!

Pic-nic-friendly Salmon Quinoa salad

4 cups prepared quinoa and finely chopped carrots
(I threw quinoa and carrots in my rice maker with a little olive oil, sea salt and water)

3-4 handfuls Sauteed Spinach
(coat a pan with olive oil, sauté garlic for flavor then toss in spinach till "wilted")

1 large Cooked filet Salmon, flaked)
(I marinated mine in 1/2 c. pineapple juice, 2 tsp minced garlic, 1 tsp tsp soy sauce, 1/4 tsp ground ginger and then baked in foil 10 min each side)

Combine together and serve either warm, or refrigerate and serve cold. Tastes great either way! I packed this to the park one evening and everyone gobbled it up.
