LodgeDodger,
Use quinoa as you would any other grain [[rice, barley, bulgar) in a salad. Cook and cool the quinoa then mix with chopped vegetables, mix lightly with a dressing [[some kind of vinegarette).
When I cook quinoa, I first rinse it then toast it in a dry pan before I add liquid. I find it takes some bitterness away. Add the liquid right when you start to see some browning. It will burn quickly so you have to watch it.
I also like to mix it with lentils and brown rice for a nice hearty change. Serve hot or cold.
