Black Quinoa Salad

Need something healthy for lunch... try the Black Quinoa Salad! 

But what's Quinoa? -okay, so it's like couscous, but not at all couscous. Quinoa is a seed that gets fluffy on the outside and stays crunching on the inside when it's cooked. It's a pretty fantastic little seed that has been used by humans for 3000 years. Quinoa's taste is a little complex since your mind thinks it might be rice or even oatmeal. Overall the flavor is more like that of a basic cereal with a touch of nuttiness. For our Black Quinoa salad we've sliced in Red Bell Peppers, scallions, celery, dried canneries, and lemon juice to make the perfect balance of taste and texture. Come by today and try this tasting lunch time dish!
