I love quinoa and often eat it instead of rice or bread Quinoa is said to have the highest nutritional value among all grains. I've been experimenting with all kinds of ways to eat it. This is my own arrangement of a salad I often see at organic food stores.

Follow the directions on the package for the cooking time and amount of water needed to cook the quinoa. Adjust the amount of cayenne pepper to your liking. If you leave it overnight in the fridge, the flavor really soaks in. Recipe by dreamy-kitten
