QUINOA AND CORN SALAD WITH PUMPKIN SEEDS
Quinoa has an impressive protein profile. It contains amino acids not normally found in grains, and it cooks in 15 minutes. In this Quinoa and Corn Salad with Pumpkin Seeds inspired by the flavors of Latin America, the mild, nutty flavor of quinoa combines with pumpkin seeds, red peppers, jalapeño, tomato, and avocado to make a flavorful, filling salad.

QUINOA, SPINACH, PUMPKIN SEED SALAD
Beautiful color and texture makes me crave this salad. Keeps well for next day lunch, simply add the seeds just before serving. Sunflower seeds may be substituted for the pumpkin. I have cut the balsamic vinegar by half as I found it to be overpowering in the original recipe.
