Quinoa is one of the easiest grains to cook and it's also more nutritious than many other grains out there. So, you should pay more attention to it. Mix it with slightly fried crispy pistachios, sweet and dense-textured dried cranberries, sweet and smooth baked squash, and tangy white wine vinegar.
