1. Toast uncooked quinoa in skillet over medium heat for about five minutes.
2. Transfer toasted quinoa to a large pot, then add broth and bring to a boil.

4. Remove from heat and empty into a serving bowl.
5. Add to the quinoa the tomato, sliced zucchini, peppers, and thawed edamame and toss to mix well.

Story

This quinoa salad is so packed with veggies and flavor that it can easily be served for a main dish. And, don't forget... quinoa is a wonderful source of protein, so your nutritional needs are met quite nicely.

Of course, soybeans (edamame) are another source of protein. Between these two protein power-houses and all the vegetables, you have a meal that is perfect for just about any diet.
