Quinoa<\/a> is great for its earthy yet delicate flavor, but its nutritional value is what makes it a real superfood. High in protein, minerals and fiber, this gluten-free grain \u2014 known for it’s crunch \u2014 is low in calories and pairs perfectly with a summer favorite: fresh corn. Toss in some black beans<\/a> to pump up the protein count even more and you\u2019ve got yourself a mighty, savory quinoa<\/a> salad meal. Plus, it has only 7 grams of fat.<\/p>\n
