I can't get enough of quinoa. I love its nutty flavor and crunchy flavor, but best of all, it's good for the body. And what's really great about the grain is how adaptable it is. You can use it for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, and it pairs with fruits and vegetables from every season. Here are some great flavor combinations that put quinoa together with Winter's finest produce.

I'll definitely be making this quinoa tabbouleh pictured here for my next lunch. The parsley and lemon add a sharp, fresh taste to the natural nuttiness of the quinoa. Added bonus: I'll be full until dinner.
