Do Eat: Quinoa Salad
Dietitian Liz Blom notes, “Quinoa salads might be one of my favorites based upon the texture and versatility of the grain itself. From a nutrient standpoint, adding quinoa to a salad provides fiber (5 grams per cup), so you’re likely to eat less and stay satisfied longer. Quinoa is also gluten-free, high in protein and one of the few plant foods that contain all nine essential amino acids (which supports lean body mass).”
