This grain side dish is packed with citrusy flavors and fresh summer vegetables, like juicy, sweet corn and red and yellow peppers. If you've never had quinoa before, you'll love its versatility and the fact that it cooks in about half the amount of time as rice We called for a half cup of red quinoa and a half cup of regular quinoa in this recipe, but you can use one or the other, if you prefer. Just keep in mind that no matter what type you choose, you need to give your quinoa a good rinse in a fine-mesh sieve to get rid of its natural coating, which can be bitter tasting.
