This healthy weight release recipe is one my grandma shared with me. We love the restaurant chain in Utah called Zupas. She has their cookbook and shared this delish quinoa recipe with me. Took it to my husbands work potluck and it was a hit. Can be served cold or hot. Love all these quinoa recipes lately. In the cookbook, they say this about quinoa: “Quinoa is unusual among plant foods because it is a complete protein source. It has very high protein content, and balanced essential amino acids. It’s a good source of fiber, magnesium, and iron. It’s also gluten free and easy to digest. What’s not to love?”
