As a main dish or a side to any number of meats or fish meals, this perky bright salad is tasty and healthy. The recipe is from the USA Rice Federation, with only slight modifications. (You can also substitute brown rice for the quinoa for simplicity.) One side serving (7/8 cup salad) provides 215 calories; 31 G. carbohydrate; 5.6 G fiber (National Nutrient Data Base).
