QUINOA SALAD WITH DRIED FRUIT AND NUTS
This is an unusual and tasty high-protein grain salad. Quinoa is a grain that has almost no flavor, but the spices add zest. It's well worth trying, I make it often since discovering quinoa at my health food store.

Steps:
- Bring the quinoa, salt, and water to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the quinoa is tender, 20 to 25 minutes. Once done, scrape into a large bowl, and allow to cool for 20 minutes. Stir in the green onions, celery, raisins, cayenne pepper, vegetable oil, vinegar, lemon juice, and sesame oil. Allow to stand at room temperature for 1 hour to allow the flavors to blend. Stir in the cilantro and pecans before serving.

QUINOA SALAD WITH AVOCADO, DRIED FRUIT AND NUTS
Equally delicious and nutritious. This is a hit at dinner parties and good when you want to get extra grains into your menu. And the colors are fab! This makes a huge quantity. The recipe says 4-6 servings, I would consider those main-dish size servings. I think it makes closer to 8-10 side dish servings. Don't be scared off by the food.com calorie calculation!
