My family and I love quinoa. If you have never tried it, I highly recommend it! It is almost like a cross between a noodle and rice. It works perfectly in this Santa Fe Salad! Hope you like it as much as we do!

I’m obsessed with quinoa! I’ll definitely be trying this one— pinned
I have never purchaed or bought quinoa before. What is the best way to cook it. Also a good brand that you prefer?
There are no sliced black olives in the recipe, but it does look as if there are some in the picture?
Feel free to add any additional ingredients that you think will sound good! Sorry about that, we will add it to the ingredients.
sorry if this is a stupid question, but you don’t mention if the corn is cooked or not. super excited to try this. thanks!
You will want to cook the corn first.
