#Quinoa
Quinoa is full of health benefits.
Red quinoa provides similar nutritive benefits as other types of quinoa. It is a source of complete protein, containing all the amino acids required by the body. Apart from this it contains B vitamins, dietary fiber, vitamin E, iron, phosphorous, magnesium and zinc.
This is a very delicious and healthy recipe as a side dish or with wedges of pita bread as a light appetizer for any occasion.

This salad is even better the next day, once the flavors have fully infused into each other
