Delicous Salad - Great for Picnics

5 WW points per serving

This substantial salad offers a healthy balance of vegetables and protein. It provides a wide range of textures, colors, and seasonings.

A southwestern twist on quinoa that works as a sidedish or entree. As prepared, a low-to-medium amount of "heat", but easy to adjust depending upon your preferences. For less heat use plain black beans or tomatoes; for more heat, add hot sauce, spices, or peppers to taste.

You can lighten this recipe up by using non-fat parm but I love it this way and it still is a reasonable calorie count. The quinoa makes this pilaf extra nutritional. One of my family's favorite sides. Could also be a good main meal by adding cubed chicken breast or just leave vegetarian (use vegetable stock instead of chicken). Sometimes I add a different variety of veggies like green beans.

Ingredients indigenous to the New World, like amaranth, quinoa, and corn, have a natural affinity. In this soup, the amaranth and quinoa add substance and subtle flavor variations to the more familiar taste of sweet corn.

Perhaps it’s the lime dressing, which infuses the dish with flavor without overwhelming it in goo. It could be the quinoa, which has a distinctive nutty taste far superior to white rice and its lamer brethren. Or, maybe it’s the tomatoes, black beans, and scallions, which reminded one friend of "the insides of a really good burrito."
Whatever it is, it’ll make you forget uninspired diet food. :-)
