Tri-colour Quinoa

I used this to make a Southwestern Quinoa Salad for a potluck and got a lot of compliments. I often make a dish with mock meat when it's for omnivores, but it's also nice to make a healthy, tasty wholesome dish with no processed ingredients. It leaves no room for negative discussions about how high in sodium vegan food is, how a meat substitute doesn't taste or have the same texture exactly like real meat, and how expensive vegan food is. This was a very inexpensive dish to make that fed a lot of people, especially since I used whole beans. #NationalHispanicHeritageMonth

15 mins seems awfully quick for this to be ready. I make it in a rice cooker, so am unsure if it’s true. But it tastes and looks good.

I like that this is Canadian grown and comes in large bags at Costco. This brand definitely should be cooked like pasta like the bag says, not like rice (which is slightly annoying as I like making quinoa in the rice cooker, but this brand gets quite clumpy if cooked that way).

Baking quinoa? Scroll to see crackers or a pizza crust from this beautiful 3 quinoa mix by just adding water, blending and baking. The idea to use grain in this way came from the Jourardi Family. Vegan is fun! #veganisnotscary
