Quinoa replaces bulgur in this dish, making it a nutrient-rich salad or side dish option.   Quinoa rates highest in nutritive value amongst the grains. It is the only grain that is considered a full protein, and is a great source of iron, all the B vitamins, phosphorus and fiber, yet quinoa is easy to digest and prepare.
