This Orange Scallion Quinoa is a perfectly flavored side dish goes well with fish or even a grilled steak.
I admit it! I love quinoa! And so should you!
It’s a perfect superfood and that means it is packed full of some amazing health benefits…but healthy doesn’t mean boring or flavorless. Try adding orange and scallions to your quinoa for a totally amazing side dish. My whole family loves this recipe….yes…even the kiddos.
Orange Scallion Quinoa
I never had quinoa until I was until. Truth be told…I had never even heard of it before either until I was about 30 and took a little local cooking class with a friend.

July 4, 2015 at 6:30 amMy daughter in law made a quinoa salad for a family get together a few months back it was delicious, me and the hubby tried it and it was great, we are waiting for another family get together and she said she will make some more. Her and her family are gluten free and we have to be very careful about what we all eat, and Bob Adams gives us some new options.

June 30, 2015 at 12:18 pmI’d add a bit of TVP to this to make it a high protein vegan main dish, serves over lettuce for a nice summer salad.
