During
the past few months in Taiwan, one of the grains I really missed
having was quinoa. It's not something you can find easily there,
since it's not what we cultivate, nor is it in our diet. I love
quinoa for its rich nutrients and nutty taste. Since it's a
superfood, I can simply pair it with other vegetables and enjoy it as
a light healthy meal. How convenient!
In
this recipe, I chose to pair the quinoa with cauliflower. I know what
you're going to say - it's not most people's favourite vegetable, and
guess what? Nor is it mine! A lot of the poplular Fall quinoa salads
are often made with butternut squash or kale, so I really wanted to
make the salad with a not-so-popular vegetable. It's always more
challenging for me to use some ingredients that I don't necessarily
like so much, and transform them into something I like.
