Then I found this salad recipe. This is seriously one of my favorite salads that I have eaten ever. It has an incredible mix of flavors and is healthy and filling. I don't really know where the recipe came from anymore, but trust me - it's worth eating!
½ cup uncooked quinoa
1 cup water
3 tablespoons butter (but that's a lot of butter, so I usually only add 2 tablespoons)
1 ½ cups spinach chiffonade (I usually do this in about 1/2 inch strips)
½ cup thinly sliced French breakfast radishes
2 tablespoons fresh basil chiffonade
1 tsp lemon zest
1 tsp lemon juice
¼ tsp flaky sea salt, (Not table salt)
Rinse quinoa thoroughly with cold water and drain.
Place quinoa in small saucepan with water and butter. Bring to a boil, cover, and simmer on low heat for about 15 minutes, until liquid is absorbed.

Remove from heat and let stand for 5 minutes. Fluff with fork and let cool completely.
Toss all ingredients together. Taste and add more salt if desired.
Serve by itself or on a bed of lettuce. (At least that's what the recipe says - if you want more greens, I recommend just adding more spinach and upping the lemon juice and salt a little bit.)
