Ever tried quinoa? (pronounced: KEEN-waaaah)
If not, you’re missing out. This highly nutritious side dish provides a complete source of protein, and is loaded with
magnesium as well as all 9 essential amino acids.
***Salad recipe***
• Prepare 1⁄4 cup of quinoa according to package directions. (This is about 1 cup of cooked quinoa).
• Roast whatever vegetables you have on hand. Typical choices are broccoli, cauliflower, zucchini, onions, carrots, and asparagus. Just chop them into similar-sized pieces, drizzle with olive oil and a little salt, spread in a single layer on a cookie sheet, and roast in a 400-degree oven for 20 to 30 minutes, stirring once or twice.
• Chop a handful of flat-leaf parsley (about 1⁄4 cup).
• Drizzle with dressing: Whisk 2 tablespoons of olive oil with 2 tablespoons of lemon juice.
