Quinoa Salad
The star of this light and fresh salad: GOYA® Quinoa, a small seed from the Andes with big nutritional benefits: filled with calcium, iron and potassium, quinoa is also known to be one of the best sources of protein from a plant. Here, the light nutty taste of quinoa is enlivened with lemon juice, jalapeño peppers and a handful of herbs and spices.
