You'll love this new version of a Greek salad. Quinoa, pronounced "keen-wah," is the most nutritious grain in town. It's a complete protein, which is especially important to vegetarians. It's also high in calcium and iron. You can find it in most large supermarkets or health food stores. It's the only grain that is allowed on the Jewish holiday of Passover, because it is not actually a true grain.

Some people like to rinse quinoa before cooking to rid it of a somewhat mineral taste. I don't bother if the quinoa is fresh. Toasting the quinoa in a non-stick skillet for about 2 minutes just until lightly browned gives it a nutty flavor.
