Heart-y Red Quinoa Salad with Avocado

There’s a reason quinoa is gaining popularity these days. It’s not only a gluten-free source of calcium, iron, vitamin E, and several B vitamins, it’s also a complete protein that contains all nine essential amino acids, says Lauren O’Connor, a registered dietitian and owner of Nutri-Savvy in Los Angeles, Calif. Packed with whole grains, fruit, and vegetables, this hearty salad will keep you feeling full and energized for hours.
