Quinoa (pronounced KEEN-wah) is a South American grain with a nutty flavor and a slight crunch, and it's a perfect ingredient for a cool summer salad. There are three types of quinoa — white, red and black, and each one has its own unique flavor and texture. White quinoa is light and fluffy; red quinoa has a nuttier flavor; and black quinoa has a little extra crunch.

I love quinoa salad! I make a tasty Triple K Quinoa salad with kale, kiwi, and kohlrabi.
You have collected a wonderful assortment of recipes here. Beets and feta, I never would have thought of that.
Yum, that sounds tasty!
