Quinoa is great! Not only does it have a complete set of amino acids (the building blocks of protein) it tastes good and is relatively cheap as well. I find quinoa very versatile and you can use it in many, many ways. In this post, however, I’m going to make a hearty warm quinoa salad with chickpeas, corn, sun-dried tomatoes, broccoli, and basil.

This dish can be eaten on its own, but it also works great as a side dish for when you’re going to a barbeque or picnic.
