One downfall to quinoa is that it is bland! Sure, it’s good for me, but who cares if I’m not going to eat it? My kids eat it with a bit of honey drizzled on top, but I need a little more oomph to tempt my taste buds. Thus I found a more flavorful way to enjoy this little wonder-seed: Southwestern Quinoa Black Bean Salad.
