\"Quinoa<\/p>\n

Quinoa has become the Beyonce of grains\/seeds\/things to put in bowls. What do you think? [YES\/NO\/MAYBE]. Even if you started out a divergent, by now, you’ve probably tried at least one<\/em> recipe that you’ve liked. I’m guessing it was a really good quinoa salad that hooked you, because that’s what happened to me.<\/p>\n

\"Quinoa<\/p>\n

I’ll say outright that I do love quinoa, and mostly because it’s so nutritious. Taste-wise, though, it has that blank\u00a0earthiness\u00a0that most grains have, which makes it\u00a0boring on its own, but useful and versatile when it comes to picking up other<\/em>\u00a0flavors. All this to say, quinoa needs a lot of help.<\/p>\n

\"Quinoa<\/p>\n

Cooking quinoa in broth instead of water is just one simple way to boost flavor. Here, chicken broth or even seafood broth would be perfect. For this recipe, I used\u00a0raw cucumber, scallions, and tomatoes, for added crisp texture, kalamata olives and goat cheese\u00a0for tangy, salty flavor, and dressed it all in a lemon Dijon vinaigrette.\u00a0The shrimp take only a few minutes (just blanch them in the broth!) and make this whole salad feel\u00a0hearty and satisfying.<\/p>\n

If you’re looking for a filling, healthy alternative to traditional potato or pasta salad, or just a make-ahead quinoa salad you can bring to lunch, this is it!<\/p>\n
