QUINOA SALAD
Quinoa, a "new" ingredient that has been around for thousands of years, is a tiny, high-protein grain from South America. It's nicknamed the "wonder grain" because it cooks more quickly than rice, is virtually foolproof, and is lighter and more nutritious than other grains.

- When dry, transfer the quinoa to a large bowl. Add the cucumbers, onion, tomato, parsley, mint, olive oil, vinegar, lemon juice, salt, and pepper and toss well. Spoon onto endive spears, top with avocado, and serve.

COSTCO QUINOA SALAD
We love Costco's quinoa salad so I was thrilled when I stumbled across the recipe in finecooking.com It's best to make this salad the day before you plan to serve it to give the grains time to absorb the vinaigrette and to let the flavors blend. Take it out of the fridge 30 to 45 minutes before serving for the best flavor.

- Bring 7 cups water to a boil in a 4 quart pot over high heat.
