My love affair with quinoa started 8 years ago.
It is such a satisfying and comforting food. Quinoa reigns in every season - there is always a good time to serve it warm in the Winter and Fall or simply dish up a lovely chilled salad in Summer and Spring.
Quinoa...
I love the beautiful pink colour that the beetroot adds to the salad. Feta and beetroot always makes a great combination for any salad!
This recipe contains pine nuts, which can be pricy. The pine nuts can also be substituted by sunflower seeds or flakes almonds.
Quinoa is tasty, grain-free (it is actually a seed), versatile and very satisfying. It is the perfect weight loss ingredient. Quinoa is easy to cook, store and freeze, but even more importantly, it is gluten-free.
Quinoa is a fantastic source of protein and contains all the essential amino acids. Quinoa also supports the kidneys. It is a good source of dietary fiber and phosphorus and is high in magnesium and iron. It is also a source of calcium, and thus is useful for vegans...
