I came across quinoa on for the first time a while ago on a food blog. It looked pretty interesting and I wanted to try it. It took a while to find some but I eventually did. The next question was what to do with it? I decided to go with Mexican ingredients/flavours. It turned out pretty good. The salad was really tasty. I really liked the texture and flavour of the quinoa. The salad was just as good the next day. I look forward to further experimentation with quinoa.
