CURRIED QUINOA SALAD
Quinoa is such a fantastic salad base-it's full of protein, it adds a nutty flavor, and it's the perfect vehicle to soak up any kind of dressing. If you like a little more heat, add more cayenne or curry to the dressing. -Shannon Dobos, Calgary, Alberta

QUINOA WITH MANGO AND CURRIED YOGURT
A four fork recipe from Gourmet Magazine, May 2003 I have posted as the recipe was written, but I only used one cup of quinoa to 2 cups of water, and cooked in the microwave as I do white rice (5 minutes on high, 12 minutes on 50% power, stand time of 10 minutes, then fluff gently with chopsticks or a fork). Stove top or rice cooker would work well also. I think with adding a dressing, steaming is unnecessary. I did use mangoes, and loved the taste, but one reviewer suggested substituting apples, cashews and raisins, and I think that might be interesting too when mangoes are unavailable.

Tips:
- Use a good quality curry powder. This will make a big difference in the flavor of the salad.
- Don't be afraid to adjust the amount of curry powder to your taste. If you like it spicy, add more. If you prefer a milder flavor, use less.
- Make sure to rinse the quinoa thoroughly before cooking. This will remove any saponins, which can give quinoa a bitter taste.
- Use a variety of vegetables in your salad. This will add color, flavor, and nutrients.
- If you don't have a mango, you can use another type of fruit, such as pineapple, papaya, or grapes.
- For a vegan version of this salad, use a plant-based yogurt or sour cream.
