Superfood Salad


I like to think I don't follow trends.  In 4th grade I thought those flared pants coming back in style were just horrid and that they'd never last.  The first time I tried Greek yogurt I didn't really "get it."  And when blogging first became the "in" thing, I thought it was dumb.  

Truth be told, and I'm a little ashamed to admit it, I do follow trends, albeit on a bit of a delayed schedule, but there it is.  I only buy flared jeans ("skinny jeans are horrid and will never last").  Greek yogurt is THE BOMB.  And here I am, starting a food blog. 

But quinoa...I tell you, I liked quinoa from the first time I tried it.  I remember when I initially heard about the strange sounding grain/seed from a good college friend.  She said it was amazing and that she and her husband really enjoyed it.  That it was a superfood and the only grain considered a complete protein.  I was intrigued, although a tad skeptical.
