Quinoa Salad w/ Roasted Beets, Asparagus & Shrimp
Quinoa Salad w/ Roasted Beets, Asparagus & Shrimp <p>Once you start cooking with quinoa, you may forget that rice existed. It has a great texture, it's gluten-free, full of protein and has much higher nutritional value than white rice or pasta. You can eat it as a simple side but creating a gorgeous salad like this with shrimp, asparagus and roasted beets is really the way to showcase this great grain. Give it a try!</p>
