The best way to get kids to eat healthy, nutritious food is to present it in an appealing way and include them in the preparation of the meal. The Peruvian seed, quinoa is so very good for us as it is packed with all the Essential Amino Acids (EAAs), but the challenge is getting kids used to its unusual taste (which is actually quite nutty and delicious).



I call this recipe Rainbow Salad because it uses all the colors of the rainbow (especially if you use the tri-color quinoa), however you could also use any of your family's favorite vegetables.

Preparation Time: Approximately 20 minutes

1 cup tri-color quinoa
1 cup filtered water
1/2 cup chopped carrots
