My appreciation for quinoa came late. This was one trend i didnt pay any attention to initially. Quinoa? Ancient grains? Sounds like barley to me. Who cares That was a mistake. I finally got around to trying it. Hooked. That mildly nutty flavour is a canvas to play with. Its healthy. Its tasty. And you can do all kinds of stuff with it. Salmon with quinoa salad is just one way to use it. Not a bad one though, if i do say so myself.
