Gluten Free Quinoa and Beet Salad
Gluten Free Quinoa and Beet Salad
While at a party many years ago in Poland I tried a couscous and beets salad. It was pretty good but I never received the recipe and I also wanted to make a gluten free version. So this one is an experiment and the quinoa adds a nicer flavor than the couscous.
